From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1947 single by Scotty Wiseman
"
Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?
" is a
popular song
written by Scotty Wiseman for the 1944 musical film,
Sing, Neighbor, Sing
and performed by
Lulu Belle and Scotty
. It was their greatest hit and one of the first country music songs to attract major attention in the pop music field. Although the song was featured in the movie, it was not released by Lulu Belle and Scotty until 1947 (and then again in 1956). The first released version of this song was by
Gene Autry
in 1945.

Bing Crosby
and
the Andrews Sisters
recorded the song on November 25, 1949
[2]
and it had a good reception from the trade magazine
Billboard
who said: "Ditty’s a sprightly mountain-musiker that had its innings a couple of years back on straight hillbilly diskings. Bing and the gals are in top form as they harmonize it to a spanking fare-thee-well."
[3]
The record entered the Billboard charts on January 21, 1950, and in a four-week stay it peaked at No. 24.

The earliest and easily most prominent recording of "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" in the early rock era was by
Elvis Presley
. According to the book of the CD-boxset "Elvis - The Complete 50's Masters", Presley recorded it on January 19, 1957, at RCA's Radio Recorders in Hollywood for his
Loving You
album. Session musicians for the song included Presley himself on acoustic guitar,
Scotty Moore
on electric guitar,
Bill Black
on double bass,
D. J. Fontana
on drums,
Dudley Brooks
on piano, Hoyt Hawkins on organ, and
the Jordanaires
on background vocals.

When the song was included on the
Loving You
album release in July 1957, it immediately prompted both
Ricky Nelson
and
Eddie Cochran
to record cover versions of the song. Nelson's was the "B" side of a hit single ("Be-Bop Baby", released in September), while Cochran's was an album cut (released in November). The impact of the Elvis version was felt across the Atlantic.
