Been doing a lotta research lately regarding a project on the Swing Era, and ran across this:
“I Can't Get Started” is an
American Songbook standard immortalized by
Bunny Berigan in 1937, and covered by oodles of jazz artists [and lounge singers, I'm sure] in the decades since. But, apparently, the first person to perform this song publicly was...
Bob Hope.
Huh.
