EXACTLY LIKE YOU - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"exactly like you" was composed by Jimmy McHugh with lyrics by Dorothy Fields in 1930. The song celebrates romantic admiration and playful affection through a lively, melodic structure.

The first recording was by Leo Reisman and His Orchestra in New York, featuring orchestral accompaniment and vocal harmonies. Later recordings by Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, and Ella Fitzgerald established it as a jazz standard.

The composition follows a 32-bar AABA structure with clear harmonic movement, offering performers room for both lyrical interpretation and instrumental improvisation.
