My One And Only Love
Composer: Guy Wood / Robert Mellin

My One And Only Love was played by Phil Lesh & Friends in 2024.

The music for this song was written by Guy Wood in 1947 and was accompanied by lyrics by Jack Lawrence in the song Music from Beyond the Moon. This song was recorded by Vic Damone and Tony Martin in the late 1940's but was not successful. In the early 1950's Robert Mellin wrote new lyrics for the music and the resulting song was called My One And Only Love. This was recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1953. A number of instrumental versions followed on from the success of the Sinatra recording and the song quickly became a jazz standard.
