September Song

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"September Song" is an American pop standard composed by Kurt Weill, with lyrics by Maxwell Anderson. It was introduced by Walter Huston in the 1938 Broadway musical Knickerbocker Holiday, and has since been recorded by numerous singers and musicians. It was used as the credits music in the television series May to December (a quote from the opening line of the song).

In 1990 Jeff Lynne recorded a cover version of the song for his first solo record "Armchair Theatre".

The "Godfather of Soul", James Brown, also covered this song in 1970 on a release entitled, "Soul on Top." This release was a collaboration with big-band jazz drummer Louie Bellson.

Lindsey Buckingham also recorded a glowing and extremely strange version of the song on his debut album Law and Order.
