I May Be Wrong (but I Think You're Wonderful)

The music was written by Henry Sullivan, the lyrics by Harry Ruskin, arranged by Dan Daugherty, and the original music publisher was Ager, Yellen, and Bornstein, Inc.[1] The song was published in 1929 and it was included in the musical revue Murray Anderson's Almanac which ran for 69 performances at Erlanger's Theatre on Broadway in 1929.

[2] It is said that the song was written on-demand for John Murray Anderson.

In his book, Encyclopedia of the Musical Theatre,[3] Stanley Green reported that “because Anderson believed that the best songs are created under pressure he locked Sullivan in a room with a piano and threatened to keep him in there until he came up with a potential hit.

When finally liberated, the composer had written the most successful number in the show.

The song was introduced by singer Jimmy Savo in the revue.
