Annette Hanshaw - Let's Fall in Love (1934)

From Annette's final recording session (except for a few private recordings which were not issued). Released as the B-side of "This Little Piggie Went to Market" (Vocalion 2635). The song comes from the 1933 movie of the same name where it was introduced by Ann Sothern. Recorded February 3, 1934. It was a #1 hit for Eddy Duchin, #8 for Fred Rich & His Orchestra and #19 for Harold Arlen (the co-songwriter), all in 1934. The song became a standard and has been recorded by many. One charting remake was by Peaches & Herb which made it to #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 (and #11 R&B) in 1967.

Written by Harold Arlen & Ted Koehler.

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love
I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing
I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, I am falling
Love is calling, why be shy
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love

On the flip side, "This Little Piggie Went to Market" was one of my favorite recordings as a toddler around 1960-61; one 78 that survived my 3 y/o hands.

Though Ann Sothern was the female star of LET'S FALL IN LOVE, the title song was introduced by popular singer Art Jarrett Jr. in the first few minutes of the film. Jarrett worked for almost all the major Hollywood studios in the early 1930s and introduced several song which later became standards.

This is not her last recording. There is another: "hands across the table" from 1937

A little bit of a rap vibe. But wholesome.
