Music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Sammy Cahn; recorded by Harry James and his Orchestra with Helen Forrest on vocal on July 31, 1942—a day before the American Federation of Musicians’ two-year strike against recording companies over a royalty dispute. “I’ve Heard That Song Before” was issued on Columbia 36668 and became a number-one hit on both the pop and R&B charts in the USA in early 1943.
