"I'm Beginning to See the Light" is a jazz standard with its roots deeply embedded in the American Songbook. Originally penned in 1944, the song boasts an all-star lineup of writers—Duke Ellington, Johnny Hodges, and Harry James composed the music, while Don George contributed the lyrics. The song was a huge hit, catching the attention of many important artists of the time. This led to it being recorded multiple times in its debut year of 1945. Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, recorded her version in 1945, accompanied by The Ink Spots and featuring Bill Kenny. This version proved to be one of the most popular, shooting to number 5 on the pop song hits list and staying there for six weeks. The song's popularity was further propelled by competing versions, including one by Harry James and his Orchestra that reached Number 1 for two weeks in January 1945, as well as Duke Ellington's own version, which made it to the Top 10. Ella Fitzgerald herself went on to record an updated take on the song in 1957, which became one of the most well-known versions of "I'm Beginning to See the Light." Lyrically, the song explores the theme of romantic awakening, a popular subject among songs from the Great American Songbook. It's a perfect example of the overlap between classic traditional pop and jazz, as well as a great showcase for Ella Fitzgerald's iconic vocals.
