Idabelle Firestone is the wife of Harvey Firestone industrialist. As a great songwriter, he writes "If I Could Tell You" as the opening theme for radio, and then the television, The Voice of Firestone music program. The event is sponsored by her husband Firestone Tyres. The previous song by Idabelle Firestone, "In My Garden", was used as the theme of program closure.
"In My Garden" has been the theme of the opening of the show until a composer's dispute in 1940 caused it to be temporarily banned from use by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). To replace it, Ny. Firestone writes "If I Could Tell You" which is becoming more popular.
"If I Could Tell You" has received a number of commercial recordings. It is most identified with singers Richard Crooks and Eleanor Steber, who served as hosts on Firestone programs in the 1940s and 1950s, respectively. Crooks and Steber record songs for RCA Victor. In 1995, tenor John Aler put it in a 20th century ballad album recorded by Delos Records.
