1920. A song written by Al Jolson, Buddy DeSylva and Vincent Rose. Jolson introduced the song, taking it to number two on the charts in 1921, and used it in the musicals Sinbad and Bombo. The song was possibly written by Rose, but Jolson's popularity as a performer allowed him to claim co-credit. The opening melody was taken from Giacomo Puccini's aria E lucevan le stelle from the opera Tosca, and the composers were successfully sued by Puccini's publishers in 1921 for $25,000 and all subsequent royalties.
