The song "Be Anything (But Be Mine)" was written by Irving Gordon and was first released by Eddy Howard and His Orchestra in 1952. This was a favorite Slow Dancing Song in the Dance Halls of the 1950s. I really enjoy Peggy Lee's version of this song. Have you ever been to a Dance Hall?

"I Can't Begin to Tell You" is a popular song with music written by James V. Monaco and lyrics by Mack Gordon. The song was published in 1945. The song was introduced by John Payne and reprised by Betty Grable in the film "The Dolly Sisters." The Cover Art of the Song was so intriguing I really wanted to see this movie. My mother woke me up one evening and we watched it together on the Late Night Movie, much to the protests of my father. I now have a DVD in my collection. "I Can't Begin to Tell You" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1946, but lost out to "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe". Have you...?
