​I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm- Irving Berlin
 
"I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" is a popular song written in 1937 by Irving Berlin. It was first recorded in the musical film 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.That same year vocal group The Mills Brothers also had a chart hit with their version on Decca #24550.
 
Although not strictly a Christmas song as the lyrics make no mention of the holiday, the tune has been recorded for many artists' Christmas albums and is a standard part of the holiday song repertoire in the U.S.

There is an amazing variety of performances of this song on youtube, all you need to do is type in the title of the song and start exploring! I had a hard time choosing just the six below!

This track follows the arrangement that we worked out in class, see if you can play all the way through with it following your road map!

I'll be the feature artist on December 12th, if you're around come check it out. (I may brag about you guys... Fair warning!)

Here's a very interesting break down on one of the chords we hear all the time, it has a fancy name (Minor 7 b5!!!!) But once you listen to this you'll be able to recognize it every where. Merry Christmas!

I've got my love to keep me warm
