Hi! Im looking for an old songs namely "Just for you" and "my one and only". I cant find it.

I would like to sing these +two songs for my parents golden wedding. These is their theme song when they were young. its hard to find coz they dont know who sang that song.

Can you help me? I need the video with lyrics for me to familiarize the song. Thank you so much

Neither of those exact titles are in the charts. There are some similar titles we would suspect:

Gene Austin "Yearning (Just for You)" (1925), The Original Tuxedo Jazz Orchestra "Just for You Dear, I'm Crying" (1927), Andy Kirk "Honey, Just for You" (1930), Ada Jones & Billy Murray "I'm Crying Just for You" (1914), Eddie Morton "I'm Crying Just for You" (1914)

and

No Benny Goodman?

Honestly pretty surprised to see no Goodman for the 30s. I trust your system,but I gotta say, I found that very interesting. Also, that Al Jolson came in second behind Paul Whiteman. Very cool chart here. Definitely not surprised to see Bing in first place for 2 decades, though. That man absolutely dominated the airwaves.

If you look at the 1930s page you will find Benny Goodman at number 7 for the 1930s. Given that he had few hits 1930-1934 that feels about right to us. He was the top act of 1936 (by our numbers)

This is just one of those artifacts that comes from splitting decades at the 9 / 0 boundary.

Looking for song I had in '30 +Memory Isle

There in the night on the summer sea,where for a while it comes back to me. I love you so, I love you so. Melody ringing through all the years, memories clinging through smiles and tears. The blarney out of the west, home where they love you best. In my dreams I called it Memory Isle, where I lingered a while, in the light of a smile, and I'm harking back-------while she's waiting for me on Memory Isle.+

South Riding

I heard some 1930's music from the era that South Riding has been filmed - and its driving me NUTS trying to find it. +The artists name began with something like Al and the surname was strange, from what I remember something like Ollwyn.

Oh please can someone help! +I need the piece of music!!!!!

There are a number of artists called "Al ??" from the 1930s.

For example: Al Donahue - "Jeepers Creepers" (1939), Al Goodman - "Thank Your Father" (1930), Al Jolson - "Let Me Sing & I'm Happy" (1930).

However given that "South Riding" is set in the UK the best candidate would have to be Al Bowlly who had the following hits (unfortunately there are no UK charts from that time):

"Goodnight Sweetheart" (1931) - Peel list 2 of 1931

"My Melancholy Baby" (1935) - US Billboard 20 - 1935 (1 week)

"The Very Thought of You" (1934) - RYM 35 of 1934

"Blue Moon" (1935 with the Ray Noble Orchestra) - US Billboard 5 - 1935 (6 weeks), Brazil 60 of 1936
