Score. 2 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #1051907. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1474238). I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter is a 1935 popular song with music by Fred E. Ahlert and lyrics by Joe Young. It has been recorded many times, and has become a standard of the Great American Songbook. It was popularized by Fats Waller, who recorded it in 1935 at the height of his fame. It is one of several songs from the Harlem Renaissance featured in the Broadway musical Ain't Misbehavin'. American Public Media's business-news program, Marketplace, uses a portion of Fats Waller's version to open its weekly letters-from-listeners segment. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. We hope you like what we've done with this grand old tune!
