It was written for the musical Oh, Kay! (1926), with the part originally sung on Broadway by English actress Gertrude Lawrence while holding a rag doll in a sentimental solo scene. The song was recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1946 for his first album The Voice Of Frank Sinatra, and again in 1954 for the film Young At Heart. Sinatra's popular recordings helped cement the standard slow style. Someone to Watch Over Me was notably covered by Ella Fitzgerald (1951), Chet Baker (1955), Sarah Vaughan (1957) and Dakota Staton (1960).
