Incredible song and very well sung. I am wondering now if the songwriters who wrote Elvis Presley's "Love Me," were inspired by this original one?

@hobojazz In addition the opening lines "Nightshades are falling, my heart is calling..." undeniably is related to the lines in the song My Blue Heaven "Nightshades are falling, love birds are calling" made popular by Gene Austin... I wonder, was it lifted? Or unintentional? Either way I love hearing interconnected songs.

Lee Morse did not write this song. As lovely as it is, The song was originally called "Deja" & the music was written by Elie Aivaz & original French lyrics by Jean Lenoir in 1927. The English lyrics were supplied by Dolly Morse (1st woman to hold an ASCAP card) in 1929. Jimmie Noone recorded a great version as a fox trot a couple months after Lee recorded her's. Carlos Gardel also did a great version of the original 'Deja'.

Lee certainly was a unique persona in singing and looks. I keep thinking from hearing her recordings that Tiny Tim! must have borrowed his singing voice from her (he was a big collector of old time singers records). The photo of Lee at 1:05 looks a lot like Piaf.

Wonderful song!!!

Jim Davis

You are right on target. For those of us who appreciate this great but unfortunately too little remembered talent, this song sums up this petite lady with a unique and marvelous voice. Bravo!

I had a 13 pc Sweet Band in 1977. We played an AFof M Benefit w/other Acts in Everett WA. This old guy came up to the band stand and asked if he could play w/ us (we did old Standard Fox-Trots and Waltzes). I sd sure go ahead, great! btw he said my name's John Cali, What's You'rs sonny? I was floored. He was one of Morses Blue Grass Boys. He played both Banjo and Guitar. the other groups were allowed two numbers we played four to a standing house. What a Memory to have!!!
