Here's to My Lady is a popular song composed by Rube Bloom with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It was first recorded and released in 1951 by Nat King Cole with an orchestra conducted by Les Baxter (recorded September 14, 1951; released December 1951). The original sheet music was published in 1951 by Mayfair Music Corp in New York as a piano-voice piece. The tune, in the pop genre, became a standard with numerous later recordings by artists such as Perry Como (1952), The Ray Charles Singers (1957), Dick Haymes (1958), Joe Williams (1960), Pat Boone (1964), Matt Monro (1966), George Shearing with Mel Tormé (1983), and Andy Williams (1991) as well as instrumental versions like Paul Smith's 1955 recording. This song showcases the collaboration of Bloom and Mercer and remains a notable entry in mid-century American popular music.
