In 1943, Benny Goodman hit # 1 with it and Sammy Kaye got to # 13.
Introduced by Ethel Waters in the Broadway musical «Cabin In the Sky.»
Waters later reprised it as a non-charting single with Dooley «Play It
Again, Sam» Wilson.
Then, in 1943, Waters did it in the movie version with Eddie «Rochester»
Anderson
Here I go again;
I hear those trumpets blow again;
All aglow again — taking a chance on love.
Here I slide again;
About to take that ride again.;
Starry eyed again — taking a chance on love.
