1st RECORDING OF: Tonight You Belong To Me - Irving Kaufman (1926--Banner version)

Details

Description

Though sources don’t agree on precise session dates, this particular pressing appears to have been the first of multiple recordings that prolific vocalist Kaufman made of this popular tune for various labels in 1926. Composed as a slow ballad, early versions of the song were a far cry from the familiar Patience & Prudence arrangement of 1956 (listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL_4ABHvn6E )

The original 78rpm single was issued on Banner 1804 - Tonight You Belong To Me (Billy Rose-Lee David) by Irving Kaufman
