All of Me (song)

All of Me (song)

"All Of Me" is a popular song and jazz standard written by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons in 1931.

First recorded by Belle Baker, it has become one of the most recorded songs of its era, with notable versions by Louis Armstrong, Mildred Bailey, Teddy Wilson, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Django Reinhardt and Willie Nelson. In an episode of the 1970s television show "Sanford and Son", Redd Foxx (joined by Scatman Crothers on guitar) sings a short but memorable version. In more recent years it has been recorded by Pia Zadora, Anne Murray and Jason Danieley. Also, a Punk rock rendition of the song was recorded by NOFX. The song was a major hit on records by Paul Whiteman and Louis Armstrong in 1932, and was successfully revived by Johnnie Ray in 1952.
