Notes
edit- ^ Ray Miller and His Orchestra recorded this song on November 11, 1929. Without Garland's precise recording date, it is open to question who recorded this song first.
- ^ In Showgirl in Hollywood, filmed in late 1929, and released on April 20, 1930, Alice White performed this song, but her voice was dubbed by Belle Mann. Without Garland's precise recording date, it is open to question who recorded this song first.
- ^ Bing Crosby and Johnny Mercer were first to record 78 rpm singles of the song before The Harvey Girls soundtrack was recorded by Garland., who was first to perform it on screen.
- ^ The flip side, "Go Home, Joe", recorded by Garland on April 3, 1953, was first recorded by Billy Williams circa October 1952 and released in 1954.
- ^ Alfred Drake introduced the song in the Broadway musical Kean, and recorded on November 12, 1961, but Garland was first to record it. The flip side, "Comes Once in a Lifetime" was recorded by Garland on October 13, 1961, however it was first recorded by The McGuire Sisters on October 6, 1961.
