The song has two different sets of lyrics: the first written by #OscarHammersteinII and #OttoHarbach in 1934, and second written by #DorothyFields (though #JimmyMcHugh was also credited) in 1935. Kern, Hammerstein and Harbach originally wrote "I Won't Dance" for the 1934 London musical #ThreeSisters. However, Three Sisters flopped and was quickly forgotten.

#TunesOnTuesday shares some of my practice for a solo set at #JazzAtTheCastle on St Croix on Sunday Jan. 15. I had to include "It Could Happen To You" in the program. Maybe I'll throw in some "Fried Bananas" as well... #jazz #jazzpiano #solopiano #jazzstandard #practice http://ohljazz.com/2023/01/10/tunes-on-tuesday-it-could-happen-to-you-2/

For #TunesOnTuesday, revisiting "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise." Fun to compare contemporary jazz recordings with recordings of what the songwriters had in mind in 1928. #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzstandard #jazzpiano #solopiano http://ohljazz.com/2022/12/06/tunes-on-tuesday-softly-as-in-a-morning-sunrise-2/
