History

The song was published in 1941. The title "Anniversary Waltz" is often mistakenly and confusingly used to refer to the entirely unrelated Anniversary Song, whose melody is a Romanian tune composed in 1880.

Bing Crosby recorded the song on July 14, 1941, for Decca Records with Victor Young and His Orchestra.[1] The song briefly charted in the USA reaching the No. 24 spot.[2]

The song has also been covered by Vera Lynn, Connie Francis, and Mantovani.

Ricky Ricardo performed the song to end the I Love Lucy episode "Hollywood Anniversary" (season 4 episode 4).[3]
