abstract
  • %22My Prayer%22 is a 1939 popular song with music by salon violinist Georges Boulanger and lyrics by Jimmy Kennedy. It was originally written by Boulanger with the title %22Avant de Mourir%22 in 1926. The lyrics for this version were added by Kennedy in 1939. Glenn Miller recorded the song that year for a #2 hit and The Ink Spots' version featuring Bill Kenny reached #3 as well that year. It has been recorded many times since, but the biggest hit version was a revival in 1956 by The Platters. This version reached #1 on the charts and was featured in the 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as well as the 1985 film Mischief. Billboard ranked this version as the No. 4 song for 1956. The Ink Spots' version of the song was featured in the 1992 movie, Malcolm X. The song also became a tango in the Italian version by Norma Bruni and Cinico Angelini's orchestra (1940), %22Sì, voglio vivere ancor!%22.
