"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.
