Guilty is a popular song published in 1931. The music was written by Richard A. Whiting and Harry Akst. The lyrics were written by Gus Kahn. Popular recordings in 1931 were by Ruth Etting, Wayne King and by Russ Columbo. The song was later popularized by Margaret Whiting and by Johnny Desmond in 1946. This is a contemporary version developed from a lead sheet incorporating a root-based chord-blocking technique that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. It also includes some interesting left-hand rythm patterns not found in other arrangments of this song.
John and I hope you like it!
