Very little info to go on.

A friend of mine's grandfather has passed away. Her Grandmother would like to play a specific song at the funeral. She believes it is called "Yours Truly" and it is from the 1940's. I have no other information. No artish, publisher, writer, or even a line of lyrics. Google is giving me about 78000 options, but I am going blind looking thru them all. Anyway if someone HAPPENS to have an AH HA! moment and knows the song please let me know.

Thank you for your time.

A genre of music would be nice.

From the 20's to 40's there was really only 2 kinds of music being heard across he radio waves. Ragtime, Big Band and jazz & swing were huge. I found a few things that may be exactly it.

Benny davis, a popular artist/lyrisis, in the 30's and 40's had a song called "Yours Truly is Truly Yours." It has been recorded by a couple different people (Ray Noble, Al Bowlly)but I wasn't able to find a place to listen to the song anywhere. If it was in the 40's or sounded anything like 40's music, then this is probably your song. http://songwritershalloffame.org/ind...songs/C84/P300

Then there is Ted Taylor's song from the late 50's... However, I doubt this is it because this is very far off from anything that was in the 40's. Rock n Roll and doo-op music were born in the 50's and that's where this song fits in.

Wow... My history of popular music class may have actually came in handy...
