By Benny Goodman. By James Van Heusen and Johnny Mercer. Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. Broadway,Film/TV,Jazz,Musical/Show. Score. 2 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #1098972. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1525332)."I Thought About You" is a 1939 popular song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It was one of three collaborations Van Heusen and Mercer wrote for the Mercer-Morris publishing company started by Mercer and former Warner Bros. publisher Buddy Morris. The other two were "Blue Rain" and "Make with the Kisses". "I Thought About You" was by far the most popular of the songs. The lyrics were inspired by Mercer's train trip to Chicago. The first line is literally: "I took a trip on a train." Mercer wrote other songs about trains, including "Blues in the Night" (1940) and "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" (1946). This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. We also added some pretty cool right and left-hand fills for your listening (playing?) pleasure - we hope you like what we've done to make this arrangement unique!
