Happy Birthday Frank and may God bless you with many more. Thanks for the Memory" (1938) is a popular song, with music composed by Ralph Rainger and lyrics by Leo Robin.[1] It was introduced in the 1938 film The Big Broadcast of 1938 by Shep Fields and His Orchestra with vocals by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross.[1] Dorothy Lamour's solo recording of the song was also popular, and has led to many mistakenly believing over the years that it was she, and Hope, who sang the tune in the film (in which Lamour also appeared). In the film, Ross and Hope's characters are a divorced couple who encounter each other aboard the ship. Near the film's end they poignantly sing one of the many versions of this song, recalling the ups and downs of their relationship This song reminds me of the ups and downs since the beginning of this project and before it. Now that's all they are just memories, with good days ahead. I'm looking forward to meeting you and Charley and the guys on our forum. Great tales to tell.
