YOU is one of the greatest songs from a great era.  It was recorded on Victor by 
Tommy Dorsey with an arrangement still fresh and exciting 74 years later.  Jimmy 
Dorsey recorded it for Decca with his usual splendid results.

This is one of those tunes that pops into my brain from time to time, and sticks 
there all day.  I have taken to changing the name "You" to "Me".  It's very 
satisfying!
