Diane is a song by Erno Rapee and Lew Pollack originally written as a theme song for the 1927 classic silent movie "Seventh Heaven". The song appears (without lyrics) on the 1961 Miles Davis Quintet album Steamin', originally recorded in 1956. The song was a popular single by Irish band The Bachelors released in 25 January 1964 on the Decca label (Decca F11799) and produced by Shel Talmy.[1] It reached Number 1 in the UK's Record Retailer chart (though not in the Pick of the Pops chart used by the BBC or the NME chart used by Radio Luxembourg) and number 10 in the US charts in 1964. Jim Reeves also covered the song in the 1950s and so did The Mudballs in the 1990s (in the 2000s active as The Cardinals (Slovak band)). Their recording has never been released oficially though. The song title is sometimes mistakenly referred to as 'My Diane' or confused with The Beach Boys song My Diane, which is.    Download this sheet!
About the Artist
Ernö Rapée (or Erno Rapee) (4 June 1891 in Budapest, Hungary – 26 June 1945 in New York City, New York) was one of the most prolific American symphonic conductors in the first half of the 20th Century. His most famous tenure was that of the head conductor of the Radio City Symphony Orchestra, the resident orchestra of the Radio City Music Hall, whose music was heard by millions over the air. A virtuoso pianist, Rapée is also remembered for popular songs that he wrote in the late 1920s as photoplay music for silent films. When not conducting live orchestras, he supervised film scores for sound pictures, compiling a substantial list of films on which he worked as composer, arranger or musical director. In Budapest, Rapée studied as a pianist and later conductor at the Budapest Conservatory. Later, he was assistant conductor to Ernst von Schuch in Dresden. As a composer, his first piano concerto was played by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Vienna, and after a tour of America as a guest conductor, began performing at the Rialto Theater in New York as assistant to Hugo Riesenfeld, where he began composing and conducting for silent films..
