Just Friends (1931 song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Just Friends" is a popular song that has become a jazz standard. The song was written in 1931 by John Klenner with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis. Although introduced by Red McKenzie and His Orchestra in October 1931, it first became a hit when singer Russ Columbo performed it with Leonard Joy’s Orchestra in 1932. It charted again the same year in a version by Ben Selvin and His Orchestra and has been recorded often since.[1]
In 1987, guitarist Larry Coryell covered the song from his album "Toku Do."[2]
