Ruth Etting (November 23, 1897 – September 24, 1978) was an American singing star and actress of the 1920s and 1930s, who had over 60 hit recordings and worked in stage, radio, and film. She is known as "America's sweetheart of song". Her signature tunes were "Shine On, Harvest Moon", "Ten Cents a Dance" and "Love Me or Leave Me". Her other popular recordings included "Button Up Your Overcoat", "Mean to Me", "Exactly Like You" and "Shaking the Blues Away".
As a young girl, Etting had wanted to be an artist; she drew and sketched everywhere she was able. At sixteen, her grandparents decided to send her to art school in Chicago. While Etting attended class, she found a job at the Marigold Gardens nightclub; after a short time there, Etting gave up art classes in favor of a career in show business. Etting, who enjoyed singing in school and church, never took voice lessons. She quickly became a featured vocalist at the club. Etting was then managed by Moe Snyder, whom she married in 1922. Snyder made arrangements for Etting's recording and film contracts as well as her personal and radio appearances. She became nationally known when she appeared in Ziegfeld's "Follies of 1927".
Love Me or Leave Me is the second studio album by Canadian country music artist Chad Brownlee. It was released on February 14, 2012 by MDM Recordings. The album's second single, "Smoke in the Rain," charted on the Canadian Hot 100.

The song was introduced in the BroadwayplayWhoopee!, which opened in December 1928.Ruth Etting's performance of the song was so popular that she was also given the song to sing in the play Simple Simon, which opened in February 1930.

This affair is killin' me I can't stand uncertainly Tell me now I've got to know Whether you want me to stay or to go Love me or leave me Or let me be lonely You won't believe me, I love you only I'd rather be lonely Then happy with someone else You might find the night time The right time for kissin' But night time is my time For just reminiscin' Regrettin' instead of forgettin' With somebody else There'll be no one Unless that someone is you I intend to be independently blue I want your love But I don't want to borrow To have it today to give it back tomorrow For your love is my love
