THEN I'LL BE HAPPY - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"Then I’ll Be Happy" was composed by Cliff Friend with lyrics by Lew Brown and published in 1925. It was popularized through early vaudeville performances and sheet music circulation.

Early recordings by popular singers of the 1920s helped the tune gain recognition. Its lyrical melody and simple harmonic structure made it suitable for interpretation in both vocal and instrumental contexts.

Jazz musicians later incorporated the song into their repertoire, drawn to its melodic charm and flexible rhythm. It remains a nostalgic piece reflecting the popular songwriting of the 1920s.
