§ I Am Music and I Pick the Songs: Anytime

{Song #76 « Song #77 » Song #78}

§ ≡ One of an ongoing series of posts in which I pick, in my not-so-humble opinion, the best songs of the second millennium. Feel free to offer constructive dissenting opinions; preferably set to music.

Song #77 is Anytime, sung by Eddie Fisher. "Anytime" is a popular song written by Herbert "Happy" Lawson. The song was published in 1921, and is best known from the 1952 recording by Eddie Fisher.

Fisher, the once skinny Jewish kid, grew up on the impoverished streets of Philadelphia to become the "Jewish Sinatra" for his golden voice. He was as famous, if not more so, for his many affairs and marriages with famous (in their own right) Gentile women, though, technically, when he entered Liz Taylor's world, she was already Jewish by injection (Mike Todd).
