"Some Sunday Morning" is the title of two well-known American songs. The first has music written by Richard A. Whiting with lyrics by Gus Kahn and Raymond B. Egan,[2] and was recorded by Ada Jones and Billy Murray in 1917.[3] The second has music by M.K. Jerome and Ray Heindorf, with lyrics by Ted Koehler,[4] and was introduced in the 1945 film San Antonio by Alexis Smith.[5]
The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1945 but lost out to “It Might as Well Be Spring”. It was also recorded that year by Helen Forrest and Dick Haymes,[6] peaking at No. 9 on the Billboard chart.[7]
