You're My Everything is a 1931 popular song - music by Harry Warren - lyrics by Mort Dixon and Joe Young - written for the Broadway revue The Laugh Parade which opened in New York on November 2, 1931. The original stage performers were Jeanne Aubert and Lawrence Gray, and the first recording was by Victor Arden and His Orchestra with Frank Luther on vocals in 1931. It became a hit in 1931-1932 with Arden-Ohman Orchestra, Russ Columbo, and Ben Selvin among the top versions. The tune is a romantic ballad often treated as a jazz standard - widely performed in both vocal and instrumental settings. It has appeared on many albums over the years, including Freddie Hubbard’s Hub-Tones (1962) - Miles Davis Quintet material in The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions - Nat King Cole’s I Don’t Want to Be Hurt Anymore (1964) and Love Songs - Michael Feinstein with George Shearing’s Hopeless Romantics (2002) - Chick Corea’s Trilogy, and Elsie Carlisle’s 1932 British recording, as well as its use in the Painting the Clouds with Sunshine soundtrack (1951). It remains a staple of the Great American Songbook.
