[Drumbo]

"I Cover the Waterfront" is a 1933 pop song and jazz standard composed by Johnny Green with lyrics by Edward Heyman. The song was inspired by Max Miller's 1932 best-selling novel, I Cover the Waterfront. The song became instantly popular and many artists have covered it since 1933 including Sarah Vaughan, Annette Hanshaw, Connee Boswell, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, The Ink Spots and Ella Fitzgerald. The 1933 motion picture, also inspired by Miller's book, was re-scored at the last minute to include an instrumental version of the tune. Sheet music publishers used the film's success claiming that the song was, "inspired by the United Artist Picture of the same name".

In 1945 Billie Holiday revived the song and it instantly entered the Blues genre, so much so that John Lee Hooker recorded several uncharacteristic tender covers. Hooker's versions make such great changes from the original melody and lyrics that his Chess Records label credits him as the songwriter. By contrast, the 1944 version by the Buddy Rich Big Band illustrates the original Hit Parade swing dance melody popular during the war years, but the song remains forever in the Blues genre due to the Holiday and Hooker versions.
