  • btw; charles russo was the banjo player. the trumpets were sam utterbach and harold knox but i have no idea which did the solo.

  • This couldn't express any more sorrow. I'm crying and didn't even know who this is about. My wife heard this and wants it at her funeral (just joking with me). The determined rhythm of the guitar makes it for me. No piano could get this expression. This kind of talent doesn't get a chance to show itself - today's show business is too commercial. Love this and thanks for the post. Learning this on the clarinet with some of Pete Fountains licks but this feel.

  • @trydreamin

    Not to detract from the beautiful sentiment of your post, but there is no guitar in this song. The rhythm instrument you're hearing is a tenor banjo.

  • @galaxyrock Thanks for the information, I didn't know this was a banjo so thanks for the information.

  • Beautiful pure natural version .Thanks from Spain.

  • que entrañable !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Bravo - opened my eyes.

  • Excellent recording. THANKS FOR SHARING!

  • Wow....

  • go to the other end of the spectrum and hear the zephyr version 1969

  • superb. robert crumb (the bruegel of the 20th century) and friends have recorded an equally moving version whilst i feel armstrong's and calloway's fail to convey the melancholy implied in the score and lyrics.

  • I'm from the Kansas City area originally, so this is even more interesting (as I know the area where Jazz music was born)! Thanks for posting.

  • Bislang habe ich von diesem talentierten Musiker nie gehoert.Danke fuer die Posting-super!

  • wonderful. an education! thanks

  • Astounding

  • very nicely done, what a great song. Thanks for putting it up!

  • Indeed, Calloway sounds far less astonishing when you know he simply covered Lee's authentic and genious arrangement.

  • Thank you for digging up some more George E. Lee, a vastly underrated musician!
