Tenderly

Tenderly

"Tenderly" is a popular song published in 1946 with music by Walter Lloyd Gross (1909-1967) and lyrics by Jack Lawrence. It became a jazz standard.

"Tenderly" has been recorded by many artists, but perhaps the best-known version was by Rosemary Clooney. Clooney's recorded version reached only #17 on the Billboard magazine pop charts in early 1952, but is more popular than the chart data would suggest, as is evidenced by the fact that "Tenderly" served as the theme song for Clooney's 1956-1957 TV variety show.

Randolph E. "Randy" Brooks (1919-1967), trumpeter and leader of the top rated Randy Brooks Band, may be best known for their rendition of "Tenderly" as a most requested song of 1947 [http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=13987456] .
