Body and Soul

Johnny Green wrote it in New York for the British actress Gertrude Lawrence, who sang it in London. Jack Hylton and Ambrose recorded it there in the same week of February 1930. Libby Holman sang it on Broadway in the revue Three's a Crowd, which opened on October 15, 1930, and Louis Armstrong recorded it that October.

On October 11, 1939, Coleman Hawkins recorded it for Bluebird, playing two choruses that barely state the melody. The Library of Congress added that record to the National Recording Registry in 2004.
