I'M YOURS - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Robert Mellin and Johnny Green in 1930, "i'm yours" is a romantic ballad known for its flowing melody and gentle swing feel. Its lyrical sincerity made it a favorite among jazz vocalists and instrumentalists alike.

The first recording was by Bing Crosby in New York in 1930, setting a precedent for its smooth, intimate interpretation. Later performances by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald reinforced its status as a standard.

The lyrics express full emotional commitment to a loved one. Musically, the song follows a 32-bar AABA form with lush harmonies and lyrical phrasing, allowing performers room for expressive embellishments and improvisation.
