1938 Gene Kardos - Love Is Here To Stay (Lee Russell, vocal)

Though only the Gershwin brothers were given composer credit on the label of this ARC recording, it was Vernon Duke who had assisted Ira by completing the unfinished melody started by George prior to his July 1937 death. Destined to become a standard, the tune was originally treated more as an afterthought in the film musical “The Goldwyn Follies,” while the Gershwin song “Love Walked In” was heard repeatedly. From 78rpm Conqueror 8994 - Love Is Here To Stay (Gershwin-Gershwin) by Gene Kardos & his Orchestra, vocal by Lee Russell, recorded in NYC January 13, 1938 . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The three* MusicProf channels are home to The HITS ARCHIVES, YouTube’s most comprehensive collection of U.S. ‘popular music’ recordings from 1925 thru 1975.
