Music

This page lists the song chart entries of Benny Goodman. The songs are listed with the most widely successful first.

Many of the hits credited to Benny Goodman were actually sung by Martha Tilton, Peggy Lee, Helen Forrest, Mildred Bailey, Dick Haymes, Helen Ward, Ella Fitzgerald, Art Lund, Louise Tobin, Eve Young, Lillian Lane, Johnny Mercer, Margaret McCrae, Liza Morrow, Dottie Reid, Jane Harvey, Jack Teagarden, Jimmy Rushing, Betty Van, Lionel Hampton, The Sportsmen, Ray Hendricks, Billie Holiday, Anna Graham, and even Benny Goodman. Also some hits credited on this site to those artists were sung with Benny Goodman's Orchestra.

Before 1958 the informal Billboard charts often listed songs without crediting artists (because the focus was sheet music sales rather than records) or they list band leaders without vocalists or vocalists without band leaders. In order to be consistent some of the songs have been assigned to band leaders or artists (based on entries in the Billboard and other charts). There is no way to be both consistent and to reflect the artists credited on the record labels, where a choice has had to be made we have attempted to opt for consistency. If you find a listing that could be made clearer by changing the associated artist please tell us about it.
