Song Discovery : Don't Tell Her (What's Happened to Me)， 1930
Music by Ray Henderson
Lyrics by Buddy G. DeSylva & Lew Brown
This song is a rare gem. From the movie The Champ 1931, starring Wallace Beery & Jackie Cooper. Sings while Dink (Jackie Cooper) awaiting his mother & loitering around the terrace across the roof top. Not all the songs from the old movies can become the likes legacy of American Song Book. (e.g "Cheek to Cheek", "Over The Rainbow", "A Foggy Day" etc.). If not the movie, this song would be lost in the wheel of time.
There are only 17 versions of the songs published since released in 1930. My favorite by Isham Jones & His Orchestra with Vocal refrain by Eddie Stone.
