As usual, Sophie knows how to sing a mournful ballad. I think this is exactly how the songwriters intended it to be performed. Jolson does a good rendition also.
@Oxfordclassicjazz I agree with you...in this version Sophie is accompanied by her pianist Ted Shapiro who leads a studio orchestra (don`t know the names of the members). Grtz, Aad
What a surprise! Pretty complex melody line and harmonic line as well . Good voice too, considering the limited recording skills at that time - 1927.

Yes...very beautiful and haunting. The Goldkett Band version is a bit quicker but also very enchanting.
