1st RECORDING OF: When I Fall In Love - Jeri Southern (1952)

The great Victor Young created the music of this much-recorded standard as part of his score for the 1952 film “One Minute To Zero” (mis-printed on the record label above) and then wrote this typically impeccable arrangement for the song’s initial commercial release. However, the only version to register on the Billboard charts that year was by Doris Day (listen here:    • 1952 HITS ARCHIVE: When I Fall In Lov...   )

The original single was issued on Decca 28224 - When I Fall In Love (Victor Young-Edward Heyman) by Jeri Southern with Victor Young & his Orchestra, piano solos by Jeri Southern, recorded April 3, 1952
