"Get Happy" is a song composed by #HaroldArlen, with lyrics written by #TedKoehler. It was the first song they wrote together, and was introduced by #RuthEtting in The Nine-Fifteen Revue in 1930. The song expresses the #gospelMusic theme of #gettingHappy, an expression of #religiousEcstasy for salvation. It is most associated with #JudyGarland, who performed it in her last MGM film #SummerStock (1950) and in live concert performances throughout the rest of her life.

Confession: I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with "Let's Fall in Love" by Harold Arlen (music) and Ted Koehler (lyrics) from 1933, or "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love" by Cole Porter from 1928.
If you're not familiar with the former, here's Ella Fitzgerald's luscious version.
