I'm The One Who Loves You (1941) - Una Mae Carlisle

from Bluebird B-11362 78 rpm
Music by Lanny Grey and Max Kortlander - Lyrics by Lanny Grey

[@Trombonology]

Though I do associate this sentimental number most closely with the Tommy Dorsey treatment, because the melody and lyric sound as if they'd been fashioned for Jack Leonard's talents, I'm very fond of Una Mae's lightly swinging rendition. A fine composer herself, Ms Carlisle had a distinctive and appealing vocal approach; she deserves to be more widely known today for her work as both singer and composer. Here, she is joined by the always recognisable --and busy! -- John Kirby Sextet. Pianist Billy Kyle and alto saxist Russell Procope solo stylishly.
