Sunday (Chester Conn song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Sunday" is a 1926 song written by Chester Conn, with lyrics by Jule Styne, Bennie Krueger, and Ned Miller, which has become a jazz standard recorded by many artists. The tune has been fitted out to various lyrics, but best known in the original version of British-American songwriter Jule Styne: "I'm blue every Monday, thinking over Sunday, that one day that I'm with you"

Early successful recordings in 1927 were made by Jean Goldkette and His Orchestra; Cliff Edwards; and Gene Austin.[1]

The tune was the theme for the The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show, a comedy radio program which aired on Sundays on NBC for most of its run from 1948 to 1954.
