... the first recording ... March 18, 1940 ....


but we don't know the release dates ...


The Bob Crosby' recording was issued on Decca 3154


The Tony Martin' recording was issued on Decca 3119


Apparently, Decca 3119 is previous to Decca 3154 ...


What is your opinion, Denis?

Bob Crosby recorded it first, but Tony Martin released it first is what I think. Check http://settlet.fateback.com/Dec3000.htm

As we are on the subject of "Fools Rush In" I thought I would share something I picked up by a coincidence today:


In 1962 r&b singer Etta James cut a version and it came out as the B-side of ARGO 5424 (Added in the meantime). Argo was part of the Chess group in Chicago and later changed name to Cadet. Etta's version preceeded Rick Nelson's version (Added in the meantime), which was a fairly big hit in 1963.
