"The Glory of Love" is a song written by Billy Hill, recorded by Benny Goodman in 1936, whose version was a number one pop hit. In 1951, R&B vocal group, The Five Keys, had their biggest R&B hit with their version of the song, hitting number one on the R&B chart for four non-consecutive weeks. Although The Five Keys recording sold a reported million copies pressed recordings are very rare.

James Francis Durante (February 10, 1893 – January 29, 1980) was an American singer, pianist, comedian, and actor. His distinctive clipped gravelly speech, Lower East Side Manhattan accent, comic language-butchery, jazz-influenced songs, and prominent nose helped make him one of America's most familiar and popular personalities of the 1920s through the 1970s. He often referred to his nose as the Schnozzola (from the Yiddish slang word "Schnoz" [big nose]), and the word became his nickname.

You've got to give a little, take a little

And let your poor heart break a little

That's the story of, that's the glory of love

You've got to laugh a little, cry a little

Until the clouds roll by a little

That's the story of, that's the glory of love

As long as there's the two of you

You've got the world and all its charms

And when the world is through with you

You've got each other's arms

You've got to win a little, lose a little

And always have the blues a little

That's the story of, that's the glory of love

As long as there's the two of you

You've got the world and all its charms

And when the world is through with you

You've got each other's arms

You've got to win a little, lose a little

And always have the blues a little

That's the story of, that's the glory of love

That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
