I've Heard That Song Before

" I've Heard That Song Before " is a 1942 popular song with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Sammy Cahn.[ 1 ] It was introduced by Martha O'Driscoll (dubbed by Margaret Whiting) in the 1942 film Youth on Parade.

It was recorded by Harry James and his Orchestra with Helen Forrest on vocal on July 31, 1942. This was the last day of recording before the Musician Union's ban. The recording was issued on Columbia 36668 and became a number one hit on both the pop and the Harlem Hit Parade in the USA in early 1943.[ 2 ] This version of the song can be heard in Woody Allen's movie Hannah and Her Sisters.
