One of my favorites from the late 1920's even though it's an obscure song and hasn't been played to death like many other great songs from the period. My favorite version is the stunning performance by singer Lillie Delk Christian; she was pretty bad but her backup band includes Louis Armstrong, Jimmie Noone and Earl "Father" Hines, and when Louis comes in on second vocal it turns into a masterpiece. Thanks to Rhythm Deluxe for dredging this song out of its undeserved obscurity and giving us an infectious version that does it justice.
