Biography

American singer, actress, and television personality, born February 29, 1916 in Winchester, Tennessee, USA, died February 24, 1994 in Los Angeles, California, USA . She was most popular during the Big Band era of the 1940s and 1950s. After failing singing auditions for the bands of [a=Benny Goodman] and both [a=Jimmy Dorsey] and his brother [a=Tommy Dorsey], she struck out on her own to become the first singer of her era to achieve huge solo success. She had a string of 80 charted popular hits, lasting from 1940 into the late '50s, and after appearing in a handful of films went on to a four-decade career in American television, starring in her own music and variety shows in the '50s and '60s and hosting two talk shows in the '70s. TV Guide magazine ranked her at #16 on their list of the top fifty television stars of all time. Stylistically, she was compared to two singers who followed her in the mid-to-late '40s and early '50s, [a=Doris Day] and [a=Patti Page].

LYRICS

Why do I do just as you say?
Why must I just give you your way?
Why do I sigh?
Why do I try to forget?
It must have been that something lovers call "Fate"
Kept on saying I had to wait
I saw them all
Just couldn't fall till we met.

It had to be you, it had to be you.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.

Some others I've seen might never be mean.
Might never be cross or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do.
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you
