Written by bandleader Isham Jones and lyricist Gus Kahn, this evergreen has been recorded hundreds of times since it was introduced in late 1923. In later years this song was covered by Sophie Tucker, Al Jolson, Frank
Sinatra, and hundreds of others. Raderman's band waxed this for Edison Labs a few months after the song's publication, on March 5 of 1924 to be exact, and this is take "B," issued on both cylinder and disc. There's no vocal
here: the band was in good form, though playing conservatively with no wild solos, and the arrangement hovers close to the spirit of the Isham Jones original (which you can hear in my
archives). The disc itself looked clean though it had some wear in the louder spots. A light amount of noise reduction took care of that.
