I Didn't Know About You

I Didn't Know About You

"I Didn't Know About You" is a 1944 song composed by Duke Ellington, with lyrics written by Bob Russell. [ [http://www.naxos.com/composerinfo/2173.htm Bob Russell Biography. Listen to Classical Music by Bob Russell ] ]

Alec Wilder wrote that it "works well as a song in [the] series of Ellington instrumentals with Russell lyrics. The main strain is the most melodic, vocally, of the three Russell wrote lyrics for." [Wilder, Alec. "American Popular Song: The Great Innovators 1900-1950" (New York: Oxford University Press, 1972), 240.]
