With music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Johnny Mercer this song showed both influenced by jazz were willing to experiment with the standard structure of the popular song.The song has no conventional verse-chorus organisation but is made of three themes : an A section of twelve measures, a B section of twelve measures, a C section of sixteen measures and a return to an extended A section of sixteen measures.
Blues In the Night featured in a forgotten 1941 film became a hit as soon as the movie was released. Dinah Shore had the first million selling record with it.
