My Happiness (1948 song)

"My Happiness" is a pop music standard, which was initially made famous in the mid-20th century. An unpublished version of the melody with different lyrics was written by Borney Bergantine in 1933. The most famous version of the song, with lyrics by Betty Peterson Blasco, was published for the first time in 1948. The first known recording of this version was in December 1947 by the Marlin Sisters, but the song first became a hit in May 1948 as recorded by Jon and Sondra Steele (Damon 11133) (number two), with rival versions by the Pied Pipers (Capitol 1628/15094) and an a cappella version by Ella Fitzgerald (Decca 24446) entering the charts that June, reaching respectively numbers three and six with the Marlin Sisters version (Columbia 38217) finally charting with a number-24 peak that July.
