History[edit]

I Remember You melody on alt sax

"I Remember You" was one of several songs introduced in the film The Fleet's In (1942).[2]

In 1941, Mercer began an affair with 19-year-old Judy Garland, while she was engaged to composer David Rose. Garland ended her involvement when she married Rose. In later years, Garland and Mercer rekindled their affair. Mercer stated that his song "I Remember You" was the most direct expression of his feelings for Garland.
