Re: Nobody Knows You When .... chord progression confusion
That little pause there on the A7 ... Well, that leads naturally to the Dm, being its V chord.
AT the time this was written the circle of fifths was very popular. One thing songwriters had to watch out for was repetition - one didn't want to duplicat "Blue Moon" or "Heart And Soul," two examples of popular songs that lean heavily on the I-VI-II-V-I progression. So any way they could work a new twist into the chord structure, they would.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
