M.Ted, when I said the song was not from the 30s, I was referring to when the public became aware of it and embraced it.

There are several previous threads that discuss Fletcher's contribution.

Some versions of the story say that Porter wanted to share authorship credit all along, but his publishers would not allow it -- until Fletcher got legal help.

BTW, Frankham, "My Funny Valentine," "It Had To Be You," "Harbor Lights," "Somewhere, My Love," "Edelweiss," and other slow ballads are among the songs I find most requested at both retirement and nursing homes. "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" (popular in the 20s but introduced to the public earlier) has gotta be in the top 5 most requested songs for this group, and they like it slow. I do include a lot of upbeat songs, but, I get more complaints about not slowing songs down enough for these folks than I ever do about singing too many slow songs or playing too slowly.

But getting folks to move is great.
