You Keep Coming Back Like a Song is a popular tune written by Irving Berlin for the 1946 film Blue Skies, where it was introduced by Bing Crosby. The Crosby recording was released in 1946 on Decca with the B-side Getting Nowhere and appeared on the album Blue Skies. The song sits in the easy listening and pop genres and was nominated for Best Song in 1946, losing to On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe. Dinah Shore’s 1946 version was the biggest US hit, reaching No 5, while Crosby’s version peaked at No 12 and Jo Stafford reached No 11. Notable later recordings include Ella Fitzgerald on her Irving Berlin Songbook (1958) and Red Garland’s instrumental on Red Garland Revisited! (1969).
