.: After The Ball :. Suzanne Lanoue Date Submitted:  2012-05-25 [Archive Date: 2012-08-23] Genre:  Show Tunes/Musicals Original Artist:  Showboat Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  This is an old waltz that they incorporated into the musical Showboat. This backing is not great. It should be faster and a different key. I couldn't find a better one that was that way and that didn't leave out the verse at the beginning. So this is the best I can do for now, with allergies etc. making my voice sometimes hoarse and croaky :) Hope you enjoy it anyway! Go to youtube and type in the title and "Irene Dunne" and you will hear it the way it's supposed to be. Happy Memorial Day... we are in Atlanta having a great time and lots of karaoke. "After the Ball is a popular song written in 1891 by Charles K. Harris. The song is a classic waltz in 3/4 time. In the song, an older man tells his niece why he has never married. He saw his sweetheart kissing another man at a ball, and he refused to listen to her explanation. Many years later, after the woman had died, he discovered that the man was her brother. "After the Ball" became the most successful song of its era, which at that time was gauged by the sales of sheet music. In 1892 it sold over two million copies of sheet music. Its total sheet music sales exceed five million copies, making it the best seller in Tin Pan Alley's history."
