Became the title of a 1955 film about dancer/singer/actress ’s life starring Doris Day whose hit recording revived interest in the song. Sandra Burlingame 206 Music Lyrics “Love Me or Leave Me” by composer Walter Donaldson and lyricist Gus Kahn was introduced in the 1928 Broadway show Whoopee! She stopped the show with her performance, and the song became her signature song. Etting recorded “Love Me or Leave Me” just days after the show opened in December, and it reached number two on the charts in 1929.
Took the song to the charts twice: in 1934 for two weeks and again in 1936 in a new version which rose to number four. Eddie Cantor, the star of the show introduced “” which also became a jazz standard. Chart information used by permission from Produced by Florenz Ziegfeld, Whoopee! Ran for 379 performances and would have run longer if Ziegfeld had not gone broke and had to close the show. According to David Ewen in the Ziegfeld had to sell the movie rights to Samuel Goldwyn and release Cantor to act as consultant and star in the film. The 1930 film, which closely follows the Broadway musical, was Cantor’s first movie and made a star of him. Enjoyed a successful revival on Broadway in 1979.
More on at JazzBiographies.com More on at JazzBiographies.com became the title of a 1955 film about dancer/singer/actress Etting’s life starring Doris Day whose hit recording revived interest in the song. The movie was nominated for several Academy Awards, and Daniel Fuchs and Isobel Lennart won the award for Best Writing, Movie Picture Story.
In 1958 pianist/singer/songwriter recorded a definitive version of “Love Me or Leave Me” in her debut album, and the song became forever associated with her. Her version appeared on the soundtrack of (1998). In 2005 “Love Me or Leave Me” was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame, and ’s 1928 recording of the song was added to the Recording Academy’s “timeless list” of 659 titles.
In Max Morath ponders the popularity of “Love Me or Leave Me”: “Is it the unusual chord progression or the blunt lyric that has made this song so ubiquitous? ‘.I’d rather be lonely than happy with somebody else.’ is one of the lines attached to the melody as it jumps from its initial minor key into the relative major with nary a passing chord to warn the ear. But it works, and jazz musicians have improvised endlessly on the tight AABA standard.” In editors Robert Gottlieb and Robert Kimball refer to Kahn’s art: “Like, Kahn was a superb and meticulous craftsman who made a lyric seem easy, even inevitable, rather than calling attention to its ingenuity or wit. But no one was fooled; it was clear to his colleagues just how good he was.” “Love Me or Leave Me” has been recorded by vocalists from and to (2004) as well as by a variety of instrumentalists: saxophonist, pianist Johnny Guarniere, guitarist, The Soprano Summit, trombonist, and drummer. In author Philip Furia points to Kahn’s skillful use “.of Donaldson’s insistent, repeated phrases to create a faceted verbal mosaic whose theme itself is monotonous oscillation.
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely you won’t believe me and I love you only. “While repetitive, Donaldson’s music nevertheless swerves up and down within the octave and even jumps keys, and Kahn’s lyric follows with sharp vacillations between plea and ultimatum. At the highest reach of the release Kahn comes up with a paradoxically helpless boast: I intend to be independ ently blue “Here again Kahn rings his characteristic changes on the figure of the lover as defiant victim, oscillating, with the music, between soaring assertion and repetitive moaning that stretches ‘blue’ over three notes.”. Thomas “Fats” Waller was a larger than life character, both physically and creatively. Composer, pianist, organist, bandleader-he left a vast legacy during his short 39 years.
A 1928 piano solo version of Walter Donaldson’s tune shows that Fats was already a seasoned pro at age 24. Guitarist Dick McDonough, like Waller, lived a short life (he died at 34), but during the dark days of the depression he appeared on hundreds of recordings, his distinctive chordal solos adding to every session. A radio transcription from 1934 not only features Dick but some wonderful clarinet by, a year away from starting his own successful big band. A small group session from 1939 (not released until the 1980s) by “Basie’s Bad Boys” has a swinging up-tempo version of “Love Me or Leave Me.” ’s early mentor was Waller, and Count’s first chorus alludes to his idol.
(tenor sax) and (trumpet) contribute fine solos.
