Henry Creamer and Turner Layton wrote this one back in 1918. It was a hit by the likes of Bessie Smith, Sophie Tucker (the Last of the Red Hot Mamas), Louie Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra, to name a few. Some younger folks might remember it as the theme song to the movie Eight Men Out starring John Cusak. Chet Atkins, Suzy Boggus and Johnny Gimble have a version that is posted right here on youtube. AND then there is the youtube posted version by the Quintette du Hot Club de France. Check 'em out and get you toes tapping.
