IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FOUND IN THAT CATAGORY, BUT IT DOES HAVE TO BE THAT STYLE OF MUSIC AND IT DOES HAVE TO BE ORIGINALLY RECORDED BEFORE 1949, WE ARE ALLOWING REMAKES IF THAT IS WHAT HAS TO BE DONE, BUT REMEMBER TO POST THE YEAR IT WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED AND STAY IN THE STYLE

oh no Sharon, I just searched it for you, we cant accept it, it was published to late:(

"I Wanna Be Around" is a popular song.

The song is credited to Sadie Vimmerstedt and Johnny Mercer. Mrs. Vimmerstedt was a housewife [1] (or a beautician[2]) in Columbus, Ohio, who sent Mercer an idea for the song, as well as giving Mercer the title. Mercer wrote the song and agreed to share royalties and credits with Mrs. Vimmerstedt. [3] The song was published in 1959.

Tony Bennett's 1963 recording remains the best known version of the song,(#14 pop, #5 easy listening) however, it has been recorded by many other artists, including Frank Sinatra, who recorded the song for his 1964 album with Count Basie & Quincy Jones, It Might As Well Be Swing.

The song was to be included as a part of The Beach Boys rock opera SMiLE, but they project was scrapped, but later finished in 2004 by Brian Wilson.
