Love Me Or Leave Me Alone
In 2005 “Love Me or Leave Me” was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame, and Ruth Etting’s 1928 recording of the song was added to the Recording Academy’s “timeless list” of 659 titles.
In The NPR Curious Listener’s Guide to Popular Standards Max Morath ponders the popularity of “Love Me or Leave Me”: “Is it the unusual chord progression or the blunt lyric that has made this song so ubiquitous? ‘..I’d rather be lonely than happy with somebody else..’ is one of the lines attached to the melody as it jumps from its initial minor key into the relative major with nary a passing chord to warn the ear. But it works, and jazz musicians have improvised endlessly on the tight AABA standard.”
In Reading Lyrics editors Robert Gottlieb and Robert Kimball refer to Kahn’s art: “Like Irving Berlin, Kahn was a superb and meticulous craftsman who made a lyric seem easy, even inevitable, rather than calling attention to its ingenuity or wit. But no one was fooled; it was clear to his colleagues just how good he was.”
“Love Me or Leave Me” has been recorded by vocalists from Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald to Jane Monheit (2004) as well as by a variety of instrumentalists: saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, pianist Johnny Guarniere, guitarist Mundell Lowe, The Soprano Summit, trombonist Ray Anderson, and drummer Chico Hamilton.
