Don't Take Your Love from Me is a 1941 popular song written by Henry Nemo. It was introduced in 1940 by Joan Brooks, and Mildred Bailey had recorded it in January 1940 for Columbia Records, making it one of the earliest hits. The tune quickly became a jazz and pop standard, with notable versions by Artie Shaw and His Orchestra with Lena Horne (1941) and Harry James and His Orchestra (1941), and later charting renditions such as The Three Suns (1953) which reached No. 21 on the Billboard charts. It has appeared on many albums over the years, including Doris Day's Day by Day (1956) and The Four Aces with the Jack Pleis Orchestra Mood for Love (1955). The song remains a staple of mid-20th century American popular song and jazz repertoires.
