Comes A-Long A-Love
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Comes A-Long A-Love" is a hit single for American singer Kay Starr. The song was released in 1952 and was written by the former Tin Pan Alley songwriter Al Sherman. This was the last hit song Sherman would write, handing the reins over to his sons, Bob and Dick Sherman who were just beginning their songwriting careers in 1952. On September 27, 1952, "Comes A-Long A-Love" reached number nine on the Billboard top singles chart. The song has appeared in the soundtracks of several films, including the 2006 release of Confetti.
Sherman's tune is derived from a violin melody from the final section of the overture to the Gioachino Rossini opera Semiramide.
