I MAY BE WRONG - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Written by Henry Sullivan and Harry Ruskin in 1929, "i may be wrong" debuted in vaudeville before being recorded by Ruth Etting, becoming a hit of the era. Its conversational style and memorable melody made it a favorite among jazz and pop singers alike.

The lyrics depict playful self-doubt in love, delivered with charm and humor. Harmonically, the song is straightforward but allows for vocal embellishment and improvisation, particularly in small jazz ensembles.

Later notable recordings include those by Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald, and Bing Crosby, which helped solidify its status as a standard of both popular and jazz repertoires.
