Abstract
“You Made Me Love You” (1913) became indelibly associated with three performers. Clarified is its chronology in Al Jolson’s repertoire and his influence on how it was performed and printed. In 1937, it launched Judy Garland’s fame, with an introduction addressed to “Dear Mr. Gable” that made the song about the relationship of performer and audience. This manifests in its use in films (Love Me or Leave Me; Xanadu) and the work of performance artist David Hoyle. In 1941, it boosted trumpeter Harry James to stardom. Through reception studies, the song’s place in individual lives is explored, illuminating a novel by Joanna Goodman and autobiography of Shirley Cunningham. The work’s elements are analyzed, emphasizing their ambiguous depiction of mixed emotions, sexual desire, and humor. Fleshed out is the song’s place in the careers of composer Jimmy Monaco and lyricist Joseph McCarthy – and in the development of chansons-realiste and torch songs.
