~ Recording by Chick Webb and His Orchestra
Annotation
Matrix: Fox Trot 60056A.
Recording Date: 12 October 1935
Recording Location: New York, USA
ASCAP title code: 390105054
Additional:
Fitzgerald second recording session (a first track has been recorded during this session - Rhythm and Romance, also on Decca).
This song is the second and last Fiztgerald rendition of it, and apparently it was never covered.
There is still uncertainty about the personnel (notably Bill Thomas vs John Kirby). For now, see http://ellafitzgerald.altervista.org/discog_01.htm vs http://www.proper-records.co.uk/artists.php?action=alview&alid=1540
