Performed by Frank C. Stanley
Circa May 1907
Announcement "When You Know You're Not Forgotten by the Girl You Can't Forget, sung by Frank C. Stanley.  Edison record."
 

An enjoyable song with a catchy melody, and a title almost as long as the recording.   Too long, in fact, to be stamped completely around the record's edge – a distinction also held by the cylinder with perhaps the longest title (beating this month's feature by 3 syllables): The August 1999 Cylinder of the Month, Ev'ry Little Bit, Added to What You've Got, Makes Just a Little Bit More.

    No. 9544, "When You Know You're Not Forgotten by the Girl You Can't Forget," by Frank C. Stanley, is a waltz song of exceptional interest by Fred Helf (music) and Ed. Gardenier (words).   The pretty sentiment in the story is enhanced by a musical setting full of character.   Mr. Stanley's fine baritone voice is heard to splendid advantage.   The Record is made with orchestra accompaniment.
