If I Had You (1928 song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"If I Had You" is a 1928 song by "Irving King" (James Campbell and Reginald Connelly) with Ted Shapiro. The romantic love song has become a mainstream jazz standard, and continues to be performed and used in movie soundtracks into the 21st century.
Notable recordings of "If I Had You" have been made by artists including Una Mae Carlisle, Benny Carter, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Bob Crosby, Roy Eldridge, Judy Garland, Georgia Gibbs, Benny Goodman, Stéphane Grappelli, Earl Hines, Diana Krall, Peggy Lee, Dean Martin, Carmen McRae, Les Paul, Oscar Peterson, Johnnie Ray, Pee Wee Russell, Artie Shaw, George Shearing, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, Merle Travis, Rudy Vallee, Dinah Washington, Margaret Whiting, and Joe Williams.
This should not be confused with another early 20th century song with the same title "If I Had You", written by Irving Berlin.
