Get Happy


Arlen's first published song to gain popular success.

It first appeared in February 1930, sung by Ruth Etting in the show "Nine Fifteen Revue", and charted twice in the same year - Nathaniel Shilkret (# 6) and Frankie Trumbauer (# 15)

Judy Garland sang it in the 1950 film "Summer Stock", and it was dubbed by Jane Froman for Susan Hayward in the 1952 film "With A Song In My Heart".
