If I Had You (1928 song)

"If I Had You" is a 1928 song by "Irving King" (James Campbell and Reginald Connelly) with Ted Shapiro. The romantic love song has become a mainstream jazz standard, and continues to be performed and used in movie soundtracks into the 21st century.

Notable recordings of "If I Had You" have been made by artists including Una Mae Carlisle, Benny Carter, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Bob Crosby, Jimmy Durante, Roy Eldridge, Judy Garland, Georgia Gibbs, Benny Goodman, Stéphane Grappelli, Johnny Hartman, Earl Hines, Diana Krall, Peggy Lee, Dean Martin, Carmen McRae, Les Paul, Oscar Peterson, Johnnie Ray, Pee Wee Russell, Artie Shaw, George Shearing, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra (who recorded the song three times; in 1947 for The Voice of Frank Sinatra, in 1957 for A Swingin'Affair!, and in 1962 for Sings Great Songs from Great Britain), Merle Travis, Rudy Vallee, Dinah Washington, Margaret Whiting, and Joe Williams.

This should not be confused with another early 20th century song with the same title "If I Had You", written by Irving Berlin.
