Kay Starr - I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm (Stuhr Remix) Six Degrees Records 2003
"I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" is a popular song written in 1937 by Irving Berlin. It was introduced in On the Avenue (1937) by Dick Powell and Alice Faye. Les Brown's instrumental version, arranged by Skip Martin and recorded in 1946 as Columbia #38324, became a million-seller and Billboard top ten song in 1949. The song has been assimilated into the US holiday music tradition.
Kay Starr is an American pop and jazz singer who enjoyed considerable success in the 1940s and 1950s. She is best remembered for introducing two songs that became #1 hits in the 1950s, "Wheel of Fortune" and "The Rock And Roll Waltz".
Starr was successful in every field of music she tried: jazz, pop and country. But her roots were in jazz; and Billie Holiday, considered by many the greatest jazz singer of all time, called Starr "the only white woman who could sing the blues."
In 2006 a remix by Stuhr of Starr's vocal of the classic I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm was used in a commercial for Telus. This remixed version can be found on the album entitled, "Christmas Remixed - Holiday Classics Re-Grooved!"
The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I need no overcoat, got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I need no overcoat, got my love to keep me warm
I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, I've got my love to keep me warm
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I've got my love to keep me warm
