I'm Always Chasing Rainbows (1918)

Harry Carroll's third hit of the 1910s, he took the chorus from Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu in C Minor and the lyrics were by Joseph McCarthy. Harry Fox introduced the song in the show Oh Look! The Dolly Sisters really made it a hit and it was revived in a loose 1945 biopic which starred Betty Grable and June Haver.
