Hoagy Carmichael wrote this in the 1920's and Louis Armstrong was the first to record it. I've never heard the Georgie Fame version I'll have to find it.

[padrebro]

seriously, what a great song. Clapton does great covers. I really liked his acoustic playing. He played this one, 'drifting' and another i believe. i think he played one on a 12 string guitar. anyone remember?

who wrote this song? anyone know what album it might be on? I can't find any info on this song and it's so damn good

[djwalsh41]

i can't find anything on this either; maybe he'll shock us and release a new album with this on it! (wishfull thinking) the show he put on in mansfield was increadable!

@djwalsh41

Wasn't wishful thinking after all!

Hoagy Carmichael did the original version. Looks like Mr. Carmichael also performed this song with Louis Armstrong.
