Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Album: Out of the Shower Genre: Jazz
I love to sing this old song. It seems hard to believe, but this favorite was discarded twice on Broadway it was finally used in the musical Roberta. Ukrainian actress Tamara Drasin, played a Russian princess and made it a Broadway hit in 1933. Btw, the phrase "Smoke gets in your eyes" is actually an excerpt from an old Russian proverb.
