Wow. Didn't know scat singing was popular among white singers already in 1925! Later he developed a softer style, epitomized by "My Blue Heaven" two years later.
So glad to find this. I was thinking about my great grandma who passed in 2004 at the age of 99. She had dementia for the last several years of her life but would sing this song daily and do this cute little old lady shuffle as she sang it. Idk why I thought to search for the song, but I'm glad I did!
If you want to hear a super brand new version of this song, YouTube search for:
