Another tidbit about “Beautiful Love” – it was one of the theme songs in the original “The Mummy” (1932).
Not by victor young. Composed by Egbert van alstyne.
Arne, I stand corrected. Egbert Van Alstyne was one of the composers of the tune, but so was Victor Young and Wayne King.
For whatever reason it wasn’t included in the original post, but it has been changed. Thanks!
