Il Repertorio
I can't give you anything but love
"I can't give you anything but love" è una popolare canzone americana e un brano di jazz classico di Jimmy McHugh (musica) su parole di Dorothy Fields. La canzone fu suonata per la prima volta nell'Adelaide Hall del rinomato Club Ambassadeurs di New York nel gennaio del 1928 nella rivista Blackbird Revue di Lew Leslie che si dimostrò, qualche tempo dopo, come il più grande successo di Blackbird del 1928 con ben 518 rappresentazioni e con l'interpretazione di Aida Ward e William McLean.
Rispetto ad altre esecuzioni più o meno della stessa epoca e/o successive: Louis Armstrong, Gene Austen, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, ecc., noi preferimmo questa di Bing Crosby del 1949 più adatta al nostro complesso.

(Jimmy McHugh-Dorothy Fields)I can't give you anything but love...baby
That's the only thing there's plenty of...baby
