It Can't Be Wrong 42nd in 1943

Music written by: Max Steiner
Lyrics written by: Kim Gannon
Language: English
ISWC: T-070.907.029-0 ASCAP, ISWC
Comments: The melody for this work was written by Max Steiner as a theme used in the background music for the Warner Brothers' film, "Now Voyager." In late 1942, after the film was completed, Kim Gannon wrote the lyrics and the song was published.

However, the American Federation of Musicians were on strike and, consequently, no recordings were made at that time. Nevertheless, the song was heavily plugged by the publisher and by early 1943 it was one of the top songs in sheet music sales and radio play.

The first recording was released on Hit, a label noted for producing records in Mexico to avoid the strike restrictions.
