Great song. I looked it up because I have a video of my Uncle singing it to my Aunt just before he passed away in 1989. Between college and law school, he went to Broadway and was in the musical "Hit the Deck." The song is from that musical, or at least was in that musical in 1930 or so). I have no idea if he sang it, but he had a great voice. In 1935 or so, it was made into a movie with Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly. Nat King Cole and his trio do a great job with it.

The bassist is Charles P. Harris from Baltimore, Md. (My uncle). He was on the "After Midnight" record. He also played with Hampton's band in the '40's.

Joe Comfort (bass) played with Nat Cole in 1950 (My grand uncle). This video is foggy. It's hard to tell. Could be Joe.

Yeah, I know, but I thought I'd bring it up. Thanks for the advice though!

Wikipedia said that this song was the first theme song of "The Joey Bishop Show" before they changed it to "Joey." I like it and I thought he had the theme song "Joey" from day one, he didn't.

Bassist, Joe Confort??
Maybe, Charlie Harris.

He recorded this song famously on the brilliant "After Midnight" album. He employed the great jazz violinist Stuff Smith on the recorded version. Again, the whole album is flawless! Not a bad tune out of the bunch!
