Down Among the Sheltering Palms

For the 1953 musical, see Down Among the Sheltering Palms (film).

"Down Among the Sheltering Palms" is a popular song.

The music was written by Abe Olman, the lyrics by James Brockman and Leo Wood.[1] The song was published in 1914 by Oldman.

Oldman heavily marketed it in the Chicago region. Leo Feist acquired it from Oldman and gave it to Al Jolson to perform on stage.[2]

The song has become a pop standard recorded by many artists, including The Dorsey Brothers with the Boswell Sisters. Sammy Kaye and His Orchestra Vocal by The Three Kaydettes recorded it in New York City on December 2, 1947. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-3100B (in United States)[3] by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number MH 97.

The song was included in the soundtrack of the 1959 movie Some Like It Hot.
