The percussion on this recording was done by Spike Jones!

"Drummer Jesse Price (Basie, Armstrong, Kenton) also recorded with Hoagy around this time." In fact, Jesse is the drummer in the To Have And Have Not version of this song, right? But that's not the recording session I was thinking of, I think it was a V-Disc session in '45.

This song has been suggested as an inspiration for Tom Waits' "Singapore."

On the sheet music it mentioned Memphis Man. I saw it in a biography of Carmichel.

I like this version best between his and George Harrison's. You can hear both culture's musical influence throughout the rendition. This was obviously ahead of its time. Thanks for posting.

AND he "discovered" a cutting edge singer in LA named Frankie Laine.

keep trying. You'll get the recording process right. Meantime the rest of us will look for clean renditions.

I love this song despite it's political incorrectness

Great post...Heard this for the first time tonight while watching "To Have and Have Not"...Brilliant song writer...Being a musician, its funny that its taken me this long to 'discover' H.C. I've heard many of his songs and played some of them through the years but just finally added it up... better late than never...

Yeah, Hoagy was one of a kind. Today, he'd be considered cutting edge.
