Our second post today is the song, “I Surrender Dear.” The music was written by Harry Barris, one of the Rhythm Boys, with words by Gordon Clifford. The arrangement was created by Jimmy Grier and was his first hit after leaving the Paul Whiteman band in 1931.

Here is Bing Crosby, singing with the Coconut Grove Orchestra in 1931.
