Hello Jeff,
Another old one.
When I look at IMDB, I see this info:
"The Sheik of Araby
(1921) (uncredited)
Music by Ted Snyder
Lyrics by Harry B. Smith and Francis Wheeler
Sung and danced by Billy Gilbert, Betty Grable, Alice Faye, Princess Vanessa Ammon,
Fayard Nicholas, Harold Nicholas, and chorus girls in London production number"
I should add this as a "New Broadcast" for the 1940 film since this is where it originally comes from.
But there is a difference between the info on the performers according to IMDB and the 1978 LP version.
Do you have any idea who sung this in the 1940 film?
