@dormouse72 I meant the original song. It's about the horrible anti-black apartheid that existed in the U.S. well into the 20th century. "Shine" is old fashion pejorative roughly equivalent to nigger. So, there is much more of irony and pathos in this song than happy optimism. It would be sort of analogous to an Algerian in your banlieues saying " That's why they call me macaque."
A Mosaic Records release shows Lucien Simoens sitting this one out:
Stephane Grappelli vln/ Django Reinhardt g-solo/ Joseph Reinhardt, Pierre Ferret: rhy-g/ Louis Vola b/ Freddy Taylor, voc
At this session Taylor has two other fine tunes: Nagasaki & Georgia On My Mind. But Shine is best among them; all three ain’t half bad, tho,
This group's session also waxed three instrumentals - Swing Guitars, In The Still Of The Night, & Sweet Chorus. Thank you. :I:

Hi,
Wich one?...If you mean this verse above, hum...sorry ...its me after too much ...water, improvising on the spot.
But if you mean the original Shine, I only know that it was created in 1910.
In fact I collect (old) songs and jazz tunes for the period 1910 to 1945...
Sorry about this poor english from France.
Nice to know you Dan

"....Just because I always wear a smile,
like to dress up in the latest style
'cause I'm glad I'm livin'
take my troubles all with a smile..."
Happy 100th Birthday Django!!!!!
