If I Had You (song)

"If I Had You" is a 1928 song by "Irving King" (Jimmy Campbell and Reg Connelly) with Ted Shapiro. The romantic love song has become a mainstream jazz standard, and continues to be performed and used in movie soundtracks into the 21st century. The song most notably was used in the soundtrack for the 1929 silent film Our Modern Maidens.

Note: This song should not be confused with another early 20th century song of the same title written by Irving Berlin.
