THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK
JEROME KERN
SWING TIME: “THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT”
It’s a tossup as to whether this classic is Jerome’s best known song or if the title should go to “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” This one won the Oscar for Best Song of 1936.
This clip is from the RKO film and marks the debut of the song. It’s utter simplicity.

You are right...it is a toss-up. I can’t decide.
