The song is heard in the following movies The Public Enemy, Of Human Bondage and Fireman Save My Child (IMDB).
Gillham and Smythe wrote approximately 100 songs together, including "Mean Blues," "Just Forget," "The Deacon Told Me I Was Good," "Just Waiting for You," "Crying Again," "Things That Remind Me of You" (sheet music) and the first successful electrical recording, "You May Be Lonesome" (Rust).
[1] As a song plugger for Ted Browne Music, Art Gillham traveled around the United States.
He sang in a soft crooning voice, and in February, 1924, while appearing on WSB (AM) in Atlanta, he was dubbed "The Whispering Pianist" by the station's general manager, Lambdin Kay.
In 1924 he gave advice to Irene Beasley that encouraged her to begin her radio and recording career.
On November 4, 1924 he appeared with Will Rogers, Wendell Hall and Carson Robison during the Presidential Election Night broadcast of The Eveready Hour over WEAF and an 18-station hook-up.
(newspaper articles and broadcast listings) He concluded his career in radio at WQXI after two heart attacks damaged his coordination in 1954.
His 130 recordings included "Angry", "I'm Confessing", "Shine On, Harvest Moon", "I'd Climb the Highest Mountain", "Cecilia", "I'm Waiting for Ships That Never Come In", "Thinking", and "Tenderly".
Being a tall thin man with thick wavy hair, he created an image of himself on radio and records as an old fat bald man who was always having trouble with women and thus sang "sob songs," and a folio was published "Art Gillham's Sob Songs" (Triangle Music).
(advertising saved in his scrapbook)[1] In 1926 Columbia imported record presses to Sydney, Australia.
While recording for Columbia he made regular tours of the Pantages and Loews vaudeville circuits in the South and West.
