Violets for Your Furs

"Violets for Your Furs" is a 1941 song written by Matt Dennis with words by Tom Adair, and first recorded in that year by Tommy Dorsey's orchestra with vocals by Frank Sinatra. The song describes the wearing of violets with furs on an evening in Manhattan. Note: A friend's father told her that he wrote the song, "Violets for her furs" while living in Manhattan for his bride-to-be, Sophia. His name was Robert Proctor. The song is said to be about Lana Turner, who was involved with Sinatra at the time. Turner often wore flowers pinned to her furs.
