Lester Young - Prisoner of Love [1956]

"Prisoner of Love" is a 1931 popular song with music by Russ Columbo and Clarence Gaskill and lyrics by Leo Robin.
Written in 1931, Leo Robin has related how publisher Con Conrad walked into his hotel room with Russ Columbo, and asked him to write words within the hour for a tune he had. Robin, who was on vacation, at first refused but Conrad explained that he wanted Columbo to demonstrate it to Flo Ziegfeld who needed a song for Helen Morgan in one of his shows. Robin then wrote the lyric, which he afterwards said he disliked, and the song was duly performed for Ziegfeld but he did not accept it. Russ Columbo, however, sang it on his radio show and recorded it on October 9, 1931 for Victor Records and it was very popular in 1932. Columbo also sang it in the 1933 short film That Goes Double. In 1946 the song became a major hit for Billy Eckstine, Perry Como and the Ink Spots.
