Dec. 23, 1936; E unp. 136951; Santlybros.-Joy, inc., New York.Kinkle definitely does credit it to Handman-Hirsch, and Ellingtonia.com web site saysDuke recorded it and has that same credit, asdoes ellingtonweb.ca. VERY strange...foundseveral references to this title attributed toHandman-Hirsch and recorded by Duke in1937 film The Hit Parade. IMDB entry showsus that Duke did perform this tune in thatmovie, but the composer credit there too isFriend-Malneck. Somewhere, somehow,Handman-Hirsch got incorrectly associated inconjunction with that Ellington performance inthat film. It got into Kinkle, and I unknowinglygot it from there.Love Is Just Around the Corner(Leo Robin–Lewis E.

S&P confirmsYoung-Crosby-Washington, 1932, introducedby Bing Crosby, but it’s not in copyright books1929-34.

I’ve got 11recordings of it, 8 of which, included severalwell-documented reissues of Crosby, say it’sby Crosby-Washington-Young.Checked all the online collections, VERY fewcopies of this title, all of which are by othercomposers.Wikipedia credits it to Crosby-Washington-Young in Crosby bio.Aha: The Melody Lingers On: GreatSongwriters and Their Movie Musicals has alengthy article on the 1932 “Love Me Tonight”by Rodgers & Hart for a movie musical of thesame name in 1932 starring Nelson Eddy &Jeanette McDonald. It says,The title song, the most operetta-ish of thescore, never caught on at all, despiteconsiderable promotion by Paramount.Neither did another another song of thesame title with which it sometimes getsconfused, composed by Victor Young withlyrics by Ned Washington and Bing Crosby,which came out in the spring of 1932 (just afew months before the release of Love MeTonight).
