Composition and characteristics

  All of Me is a jazz standard whose lyrics and music were written by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons in 1931. It has an ABAC structure and was originally written in the key of B-flat major.
The melody combines the music's contradictory possibilities. The downward thrusts of the opening phrases suggest emotional despair, while the final line, with its repeated high notes, sounds almost jubilant. It usually runs in an average time.
All of Me first came to public notice when a performance by Belle Baker was broadcast on the radio in 1931. After that a few others also became successful.
Frank Sinatra recorded several versions of All of Me. Its 1948 release peaked at No. 21. He also sang it in the film Meet Danny Wilson, which may have helped Johnnie Ray's performance reach No. 12 in the charts that year. Sinatra's use of All of Me brought a non-jazz audience to the song, as did Willie Nelson, whose version was included on his Stardust album and reached No. 3 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 1978. In 2000, All of Me of Me received the Towering Song Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

By The Imperials. By Michael Omartian and Stormie Omartian. Arranged by Samuel Iglesias. 20th Century,Christian,Pop,Praise & Worship. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 1 pages. Samuel Iglesias #1071204. Published by Samuel Iglesias (A0.1494615).

A synthesized chart for the rhythm section of the band or accompanist, to follow the right chords, melodic cues, and entire structure of the song. In the key of F (3 half steps lower than the original), which works with average voices/congregational ranges. Great for church specials, accompanying a singer, a soloist instrumentalist, a recording session, and knowing the exact roadmap of the song, to the detail. This song by The Imperials was also popularized in Spanish by singer Danny Berrios with his version Un Canto Para Ti, which also follows the same structure.
*A version of this chart in the original Ab Major key is also available!
