 The song "Dear Mr. Gable" was a birthday present for  Clark Gable (qv)s 36th birthday. Composer and arranger  Roger Edens (qv) adapted the old song "You Made Me Love You" by  James V. Monaco (qv). It was sung at Gables birthday party by a  young Judy Garland (I) (qv). Producer Louis B. Mayer (qv) was so  impressed by it, that he gave order to let Garland sing it again in  the next great musical MGM was going to produce.
