Bud Green (who co-wrote "That's My Weakness Now" and "Once in a While") and Harry Warren (would later co-write the Glenn Miller classics "Chatanooga Choo-Choo" and "Serenade in Blue") wrote this one in 1926 and it was
recorded many times - probably the best one was by Fess Williams for Gennett (a sample of which used to be here but can now be found on-line at the
Red Hot Jazz website). This was recorded for Edison Labs on June 17 of 1926. It's sung in an interesting blend of barbershop and "Revelers"
styles, quite popular in the mid-20s, and is full of hucksterisms that only pre-depression America could crave. I don't know who is in this group, but to my ear it sounds like Arthur Hall is singing the lead part (informed
input is appreciated). The recording, as would be expected from Edison, is first-rate, and the surface noise was nearly non-existant.
