1st RECORDING OF: I Love You Because - Leon Payne (1949) (#1 C&W hit)
The composer of the much-recorded country-pop standard gave us this first version and reached #1 on Billboard’s C&W radio airplay chart in early 1950 (his only national chart appearance). Versions by Ernest Tubb and Clyde Moody also shared in the tune’s initial success that year. Some of us first heard the song in 1956 when Elvis included it in his first LP, and a top-5 version in 1963 revived the career of Al Martino (listen here: )
The original single was issued on Capitol 40238 - I Love You Because (Leon Payne) by Leon Payne with String Band, recorded August 11, 1949
