Vaudeville star Belle Baker introduced the public to “All of Me” over the radio in 1931. Detroit songwriters, Seymour Simons and Gerald Marks, offered Baker the song, and she sang it onstage at the Motor City’s famous Fisher Theatre. As the story goes, the singer had just lost her husband, and, struck by the personal sense of loss conveyed in the lyrics, broke down weeping during a performance. The national press picked up the story and before long the song was a hit.

Was there someone before Uncle Kracker? The music for the Kracker version looks like it was copyrighted in 2000, so I had no idea there was someone else! Edit: and the Uncle Kracker version was written by Kracker himself (Matthew Shafer) and Michael Bradford.
