Recorded on November 5, 1936. Even though Ella wasn't officially credited as vocalist [the original label simply read, "with vocal refrain"], Benny discovered that Ella was already under contract to Decca (as Chick Webb's vocalist)- and Victor had to withdraw the record from circulation. Benny recorded a second version- with Frances Hunt as vocalist- on January 14, 1937, which was quickly issued in place of Ella's recording.
