All Of Me (jazz Standard)
"All of Me" is a popular song and jazz standard written by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons in 1931. Composition and characteristics Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons wrote the words and music of "All of Me" in 1931. It has an ABAC structure, and is written in the key of B-flat major.

The harmony is relatively straightforward, and has served as the basis for Lennie Tristano's "Line Up", Warne Marsh's "Background Music", and Bill Dobbins's "Lo Flame". In 2000, "All of Me" was given the Towering Song Award by the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
