"Everybody Loves
Somebody" is a song written in 1947 by Sam Coslow, Irving Taylor and
pianist Ken Lane.
Although written almost 20
years earlier, by 1964 the song had already been recorded by several artists—including
Frank Sinatra-but without much success. Lane was playing piano for Dean Martin on
his Dream with Dean LP sessions, and with an hour or so of studio time left and
one song short, Lane suggested that Martin take a run at his tune. Dean was
agreeable, and the small combo of piano, guitar, drums and bass performed a
relatively quiet, laid-back version of the song (coincidentally, Martin had
sung it almost 20 years earlier on Bob Hope's radio show in 1948, and also on
Martin & Lewis' NBC radio program at about the same time). Almost immediately Martin
re-recorded the song for his next album, this time with a full orchestra and
chorus. His label, Reprise Records, was so enthusiastic about
the hit potential of this version they it titled the LP Everybody Loves
Somebody to capitalize on it.
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
My sometime is now
Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
My someplace is here
If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I've found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you
If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dreams was overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you.
