Blue Room (Rodgers-Hart) by Perry Como, orchestra and chorus conducted by Henri Rene Composed in 1926 for the Rodgers & Hart musical “The Girl Friend,” “Blue Room” was among the many R&H tunes showcased in the MGM musical “Words And Music.” It was Perry who performed it in the film (while Cyd Charisse danced), and his low-key RCA Victor 78 release subsequently reached the national top-20.
