Betty Hutton - It Had To Be You (1944) 

I'm only 40 years old, but I got introduced to Betty Hutton because of Fallout 4. I really liked it and started taking a look into her work. After seeing the breadth of her work, and the talent, was absolutely blown away.

Betty Hutton starred in one of my father's all-time favorite movies, Miracle of Morgans Creek (1944). Directed by Preston Sturgis, and also starring Eddie Bracken and Diana Lynn, Betty played Trudy Kockenlocker, whose name, for some reason always made my father laugh. I imagine he saw the movie in a tent somewhere either in the US or Panama where he was stationed during WWII.

I was born in the late fall of 1978. Awesome Lyrics and Melody! Awesome Musical Arrangement! Awesome Orchestrations! Awesome Recording! Awesome Song! Awesome Vocalization! Betty Hutton is very pretty and very talented! I Love Betty Hutton's Movies!

Listening to this takes me back to our upstairs apartment during WWII listening to this song over and over as a crowd of GIs making the best of their weekend passes in the roadhouse below kept feeding nickels into the juke box and dancing with the local girls. Except for the war and all the horrible things it caused those were really great days to be alive. I was just a kid but I can still remember those days, the GIs, and the great music they danced to as though it all happened last week..

This is a nice song I have listened in more recent versions, but the original is Great to listen and enjoy.

Nice old song, I did meet Betty . An army initiative test required me to obtain her signature - she was charming

Fantastic rendition!

This is the best version of this beautiful and classic song ever! I own this on both record and CD! I was born in 1978. Thank you for posting and sharing this! I love it!

🎶 Why do I do just as you say? Why must I just give you your way? Why do I sigh? Why do I try to forget? It must have been that something lovers call fate Kept on saying I had to wait I saw them all Just couldn't fall till we met It had to be you, it had to be you I wandered around and finally found the somebody who Could make me be true, could make me feel blue And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you Some others I've seen might never be mean Might never be cross or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do For nobody else gave me a thrill With all your faults, I love you still It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you Some others I've seen might never be mean Might never be cross or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do For nobody else gave me a thrill With all your faults, I love you still It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you 🎶

These songs make me so happy and sad at the same time.

I wandered around and finally found the somebody who could sing this song true xxxo

This song is timeless.

This is by far the best version I've heard of this song thank you for posting this there's not enough appreciation for this era anymore.

I think Betty Hutton has voice and charisma. Great artist..........So enrgetic. Lovely

This is my favorite by Betty Hutton.

by far my favorite version

Betty Hutten was really a great singer. Such a pretty voice.

terrific is the only word for betty hutton just seen her in world war show bob hope said what energy and how terrific

I'm in my 20's and this took me back.

💖💖💖💖💖💖 Love and appreciate Betty Hutton!

A song many times heard as part of the musical score in films because it's such a wonderful ballad that perfectly fits the scenes when it's played. One song that you never tire hearing it again and again. Betty Hutton does a nice job on this one. Great upload choice!

This is a very good version if you want to learn this song. She sings both the verse and the chorus, and does it very well. Thanks for the upload.

Great version, I love how she rolls every word out. 👍🏻

so beautiful

Listening to different versions of It Had to be You today. Didn't know about this mellow Betty Hutton take. I usually think of her doing explosive up-tempo tunes. Very nice.

Love this song ! Just heard it in "icendiary blonde", beautiful movie with this beautiful song.

Beautiful. Brings out the goosebumps.

Fantastic

Im seriously getting annoyed by people commenting they came here because bambam. No one cares seriously, just be quiet and enjoy this wonderful song !

I saw the movie that she sang this song in. I adored her and think I watched about all of her movies. This was in the years that movies stayed in theaters longer than they do nowadays. And at age 12, a ticket only cost fifteen cents so I went to the movies a lot.

Lovely, gracious, graceful, velvet Voice, wonderfull dancer and comefian

I love restored audio that maintains the monaural solidity of the original recording. Further along this list you can hear quasi-stereo trickery imposed on the recordings that dilutes them.

Great. made my day.

Love these versions that include the verse

i love it !

Bambam brought me here and I can't stopping listening to this song..very beautiful..:D

Thank you so much for uploading this.

Love this love song and love Betty singing it

Love it, simply wonderful!

Who knew she could sing ? Not I 'til now..Thank you so much for making my education complete.....XOX.

I have always Loved Betty's version since I saw her in Incendiary Blonde movie.

Heard of this song when I watched a movie that talks about 40's. I didn't know the name or who sang it but now I do. Great song!

Classic!

It remembers me my parent's meeting just after the war.......

so lovely ! Go Betty ! Great !

Wow! She does a great job on this song -- such a light, airy treatment. She was more known for fast, loud, almost novelty numbers, but here she's quite the opposite.

Best version EVER....not easy to accomplish when Old Blue Eyes and Billie Holiday sing it also.

I love this song it heard it from the movie a league of your own

She sings pretty. (Her novelty songs were fun, but this is sweet.)

One of the best renditions of this song ever. Oh, and FUCK BamBam. In 25 minutes BamBam will be forgotten. In 25 years people will still remember this song and Betty Hutton.

Her voice is smooth as silk.

Oh my gosh, where is this goddess from shes heaven ive never heard since doris day and barbra streissand!!!

Great voice. Loved her in Annie Get Your Gun.

Hmm never heard this version before..but I like!

es un angel

Betty Hutton had a number of songs that were covered by Dina Shore at the same time. Nothing against Ms. Shore, but Betty should have gotten more support in her singing career. Great comedic actress and talent.

this song was in a chinese drama! Good stuff.

wow the dont make them like they used to

Bambam brought me here!!!

I always thought Frank Sinatra did this first. Wrong.

Music to explore Rapture to.

Jitterbug Betty had an endearing babydoll tone in her voice until she suffered larynx damage in the early '50's. Then she rehabed and retrained her voice. The later voice is deeper and perhaps more womanish, but lacks that special crazy-kid something she formerly had..... This is from the earlier era, of course.

GOT7's Bambam brought me hereee ^^

my mom made me listen to this its okay

ahhh bioshock :D

Bambam XD I'm here because of bamie
