"In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening" is a popular song with music by Hoagy Carmichael (1899-1981), and lyrics by Johnny Mercer (1909-1976).[1] It was originally planned to feature it in a Paramount Pictures film written for Betty Hutton (1921-2007), that never took off, which was to be called The Mack Sennett Girl (a.k.a. Keystone Girl). The song was buried in Paramount's files until it was rediscovered[2] and then used in the 1951 film Here Comes the Groom and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.[1]

The recording by Bing Crosby (1904-1977), and Jane Wyman (1917-2007), with Matty Matlock's All Stars (1907-1978), and the Four Hits and a Miss was recorded on June 20, 1951,[3] and released by Decca Records as catalog number 27678.[4] It first reached the Billboard entertainment trade magazine's "Best Seller" chart on September 21, 1951, and lasted six weeks on the chart, peaking at number 11.[5]
