It was released on a 12" 78 in a Decca album from 1937 called "Five Feet Of Swing". The other artists in that early album were The Dorsey Brothers, Jimmy Dorsey, Glen Gray and Bob Crosby.
Added this to my lists for Music of 1937 and Ella Fitzgerald. My 500 playlists let you listen by artist or release year to the evolution of a century of pop music from around the world! come listen to the sounds of any year since 1900 as if you've stepped back in time.
Only Ella can sing with this style at her twenties!!

Wow, Ella sounds young on this recording. Her voice still had the same timber as on "A Tisket A Tasket."
