"I Can't Requite Yous Annihilation but Love, Baby" is an American popular song and jazz standard by Jimmy McHugh (music) and Dorothy Fields (lyrics). The song was introduced by Adelaide Hall at Les Ambassadeurs Club in New York in Jan 1928 in Lew Leslie's Blackbird Revue, which opened on Broadway later that year as the highly successful Blackbirds of 1928 (518 performances), wherein information technology was performed by Adelaide Hall, Aida Ward, and Willard McLean.
In the 100-most recorded songs from 1890 to 1954, "I Can't Give You lot Anything Only Love, Babe" (1928) is No. 24.[one]
Background [edit]
Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields had written the score for a revue at Les Ambassadeurs Order on 57th Street, New York, which featured the vocaliser Adelaide Hall. However, the producer Lew Leslie believed that they still missed a 'smash' tune. The team pondered for a while earlier finally playing Leslie "I Can't Give You Anything just Love, Baby". This was the song Leslie had been looking for and he immediately included it in the revue.[two] One advertisement called it "the song success of the Nation."[iii]
Blackbird Revue opened on Jan four, 1928, with Adelaide Hall singing "I Can't Give You Anything just Love, Baby" solo. Later on, Fields and McHugh wrote a second half for the revue and Leslie expanded the production. With extra songs and actress performers added (including the vocalist Aida Ward), Leslie renamed the revue Blackbirds of 1928 and took the total production for a tryout in Atlantic Urban center, New Jersey, where information technology appeared at Nixon's Apollo Theatre. On May 9, 1928, Blackbirds of 1928 opened at the Liberty Theatre, Broadway.
The idea behind the song came during a stroll Fields and McHugh were taking one evening down 5th Avenue; they saw a young couple window-shopping at Tiffany'due south. McHugh and Fields understood that the couple could not beget to purchase jewelry from Tiffany's, but yet they drew closer to them. It was then they heard the human say, "Gee, honey I'd like to get you a sparkler like that, but right now, i can't give y'all nothin' merely honey!" Hearing this, McHugh and Fields rushed to a nearby Steinway Tunnel, and within an 60 minutes they came up with "I Can't Requite You Anything but Love, Babe".[4]
Some controversy surrounds the song's authorship. Andy Razaf'south biographer Harry Singer offers circumstantial evidence that suggests Fats Waller might have sold the melody to McHugh in 1926 and that the lyrics were past Andy Razaf.[v] Alternatively, Philip Furia has pointed out that Fields' poesy is almost identical to the terminate of the 2d verse of Lorenz Hart's and Richard Rodgers' song "Where's That Rainbow?" from Peggy-Ann, the 1926 musical comedy with book past Fields' brother Herbert and produced by their father Lew:[6]
