The great majority of recordings that I’ve found have been released since the year 2000. “They Say It’s Spring,” co-written with the obscure songwriter Marty Clark*, is evidently the second most popular song among those written or co-written by Bob Haymes, although it hasn’t always been popular. “That’s All” has been recorded by hundreds of artists, and a look at its recording history suggests that it had become an established standard by the mid-1960s.
In the mid-’50s, he co-wrote the song “They Say It’s Spring” with Marty Clark the song was made popular by jazz singer Blossom Dearie, who recorded it on her 1957 album Give Him the Ooh-La-La. That same year, Haymes copyrighted the song entitled, “C’est Tout,” which was the early incarnation of his most notable song, “ That’s All.” In 1953, he refined the song’s lyrics with Alan Brandt, who was subsequently credited as co-writer. In 1952, he co-wrote the song “ My Love, My Love” with Nick Acquaviva, which became a hit when recorded by Joni James (Acquaviva’s eventual sister-in-law) later that year. In the early 1950s, Bob Haymes began work as a songwriter. They Say It’s Spring (Bob Haymes, Marty Clark) Page originally published on latest edit: 21 March 2021
