Heart And Soul Lyrics
HEART AND SOUL Larry Clinton (words by Frank Loesser, music by Hoagy
Carmichael)
3 versions charted in 1939: Larry Clinton (# 1); Eddy Duchin
(# 12); and Al Donohue (# 16) Later charted as # 11 in 1952 by The Four
Aces Also charted by Larry Maddox (1956, #57); The Cleftones (1961, #18);
and Jan and Dean (1961, # 25)
Heart and soul, I fell in love with
you Heart and soul, the way a fool would do, madly Because you held me
tight And stole a kiss in the night
Heart and soul, I begged to be
adored Lost control, and tumbled overboard, gladly That magic night we
kissed There in the moon mist
Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much
too thrilling Never before were mine so strangely willing
But now I
see, what one embrace can do Look at me, it's got me loving you
madly That little kiss you stole Held all my heart and
soul
>From the Reader's Digest "Treasury of Best Loved
Songs":
"During a brief period in the Swing Era, the Hollywood
film studios produced a series of "short subjects" featuring dance bands,
usually playing their established hits. But only one "short", A Song Is Born
(1938), effectively introduced a hit. The band was Larry Clinton's, with
vocalist Bea Wain and the song was "Heart and Soul", Carmichael and
Loesser's first collaboration. Carmichael was an established composer at
the time, but Loesser - later a creator of both words and music - was
still only a lyricist. Carmichael told the Digest that the song kicked
around the back rooms of Paramount Pictures for a month before it was
assigned to any picture. During that period "the best use the song got was
for Anthony Quinn's voice practice". This was before Quinn became a star.
The writers were disappointed when their song was launched in a minor
production, but the disappointment was short-lived as Clinton's recording
became a big seller."
