No Other Love (1950 Song)
"No Other Love" is a popular song. The words were written by Bob Russell. The music is credited to Paul Weston but is actually derived from Frédéric Chopin's '' Étude No. 3 in E,'' Op. 10, and is practically identical to that of the song "Tristesse," a 1939 hit for French singer-actor Tino Rossi. It should not be confused with " No Other Love", written and composed by Broadway team Rodgers and Hammerstein. A version recorded by Jo Stafford (Weston's wife) with Weston's orchestra backing her (released by Capitol Records as catalog number 1053), reached #8 on the '' Billboard'' chart in 1950. The piano artistry of George Greeley is also credited on the recording.

The French singer Serge Gainsbourg published the song "Lemon Incest," with his own lyrics but set to the same Chopin tune. Sung as a duet with his daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg, it cause ...

Songs With Lyrics By Bob Russell (songwriter)
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical compo ...
