That Old Black Magic 1942
Harold Arlen (m) Johnny Mercer (w)
From the film “Star Spangled Rhythm”

It was sung in the film by Johnnie Johnston who was reported to have told the heads of the studio that either he or Bing Crosby would have to go! The long sequence in which he sings this song focuses on the dancing of Vera Zorina instead of him.
