Trust in Me (1937 song)
"Trust in Me" is a song written by Ned Wever, Milton Ager, and Jean Schwartz. Popular versions in 1937 were by Mildred Bailey and by Wayne King & His Orchestra.[1]
It was subsequently revived by Eddie Fisher. His recording was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-4444. It reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on February 1, 1952, its only week on the chart, at #29.[2] The flip side was Fisher's much bigger hit, "Tell Me Why".
Another revival was made by Etta James in 1961[3] and this peaked on the charts at #30.
