"All Of Me"
Words and Music by Seymour Simons and Gerald Marks (first recorded by Belle Baker,1931).
Recorded by Ruth Etting at December, 1931
You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to care
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair
All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me

This is so sweet and Billie Holiday is so bluesy. My favourite though is Al Bowlly. His version is shorter unfortunately. It's so beautiful and tinged with sadness hidden in sentimental whimsy. 9 years ago

Not bad. The inflection is typical of the period. This is interesting because it provides context and background to the evolution of this famous song.However, nothing compares with Billie Holliday's version. Nobody comes close.Thank you for making Ruth Etting's version available.9 years ago
