This song has been suggested as an inspiration for Tom Waits' "Singapore."

On the sheet music it mentioned Memphis Man. I saw it in a biography of Carmichel.

Super historical info, God BLESS you for this tribute to Hoagy, but of COURSE you know quality, you're Danish! Det er jeg altsa! That means 'Me too!'
I'm building an ever-expanding music history channel with over 500 playlists so far. My lists feature most genres & cover the globe. 111 lists let you hear the music of any year since 1900 like you've stepped back in time. Added this to my 1943 & my Artists Biographies playlists. Thanks for a great post here ! ! !

I like this version best between his and George Harrison's. You can hear both culture's musical influence throughout the rendition. This was obviously ahead of its time. Thanks for posting.

keep trying. You'll get the recording process right. Meantime the rest of us will look for clean renditions.

I love this song despite it's political incorrectness

Hoagy was one of the greatest of all time. Sadly those days are gone forever. We won't see his like again.

Great post...Heard this for the first time tonight while watching "To Have and Have Not"...Brilliant song writer...Being a musician, its funny that its taken me this long to 'discover' H.C. I've heard many of his songs and played some of them through the years but just finally added it up... better late than never...

Yeah, Hoagy was one of a kind. Today, he'd be considered cutting edge.

AND he "discovered" a cutting edge singer in LA named Frankie Laine.

Thanks for the upload. The Toobs took another down and it was hard to replace.
Love this tune.

This was covered by George Harrison. His version sounded a little better. You could here the words "Everytime I try to leave, Sweet opium won't let me fly away". (Lyrics cut and pasted curtesy of songmeanings.)

Drummer Jesse Price (Basie, Armstrong, Kenton) also recorded with Hoagy around this time.

"Drummer Jesse Price (Basie, Armstrong, Kenton) also recorded with Hoagy around this time." In fact, Jesse is the drummer in the To Have And Have Not version of this song, right? But that's not the recording session I was thinking of, I think it was a V-Disc session in '45.
