Description
Charted at #8 in Billboard in April 1953 (#6 UK). Original Billboard review: "This etching could do much to return Ray to his once exalted place in the pop hierarchy. The cute oldie is sold with great persuasion by the chanter to ace piano backing. An up-beat waxing that could earn much loot." Billboard rating: 84 out of 100.
A #1 hit for Ted Weems and His Orchestra in February 1924 and #14 for Ted Lewis and His Band in December 1930.
Written in 1918 by Leo Wood.
Also recorded by Jimmy Roselli, Fats Waller, Bix Beiderbecke, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway and many others.
The other side of this single is "Glad Rag Doll"
