Have You Met Miss Jones?

In the musical, the song is performed by characters Peggy Jones and Phil Barker. In the 1937 version these characters were played by Joy Hodges and Austin Marshall. George Shearing released a bebop version of "Have You Met Miss Jones?" in 1947, spurring a renewal of interest in the song. In the early 1950s, versions by Red Norvo (with Charles Mingus & Tal Farlow) and Stan Getz & Art Tatum cemented the success of the song as a jazz standard. In the movie Gentlemen Marry Brunettes (1955), it is sung by Rudy Vallee, Jane Russell, Jeanne Crain (dubbed by Anita Ellis), Scott Brady (dubbed by Robert Farnon) and Alan Young, danced by Jane Russell and Jeanne Crain. ==Recordings==
