Jazz Legend Adelaide Hall sings I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby

Adelaide Hall filmed live in concert at the Riverside Studios in 1989 at the age of 87. "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" is generally considered to have been written by Jimmy McHugh (music) and Dorothy Fields (lyrics), although some claims have been made that in fact the music was by Fats Waller and the lyrics by Andy Razaf. According to the Jazz Standards website, the song was originally written as "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Lindy" in honor of Charles Lindbergh for the Broadway revue Harry Delmar's Revels (1927) but was dropped from that show. The song was originally introduced by Adelaide Hall at Les Ambassadeurs Club in New York in January 1928 in Lew Leslie's Blackbird Revue. The revue later changed its name to Blackbirds of 1928 and enjoyed a long successful run on Broadway. In Blackbirds of 1928 the song was performed by Adelaide Hall, Aida Ward and Willard McLean. To commemorate the centenary of her birth on October 20 2001, Stephen Bourne's Sophisticated Lady is the first biography of the acclaimed star. With a Foreword by Lena Horne and Barbara Windsor, it charts her illustrious career from the 1920s to the 1990s.
