I May Be Wrong (but I Think You're Wonderful)

"I May Be Wrong (but I Think You're Wonderful)" is a popular song.

The music was written by Henry Sullivan, the lyrics by Harry Ruskin. The song was published in 1929 and it was included in the musical revue Murray Anderson's Almanac which ran for 69 performances at Erlanger's Theatre on Broadway in 1929.[1] It is said that the song was written on-demand for John Murray Anderson. In his book, Encyclopedia of the Musical Theatre,[2] Stanley Green reported that “because Anderson believed that the best songs are created under pressure he locked Sullivan in a room with a piano and threatened to keep him in there until he came up with a potential hit. When finally liberated, the composer had written the most successful number in the show. The song was introduced by singer Jimmy Savo in the revue."[3]
