The orginal composer is john w green but coleman hawkins makes this song a jazz standard. So for me is the composer of this song in jazzy sound coleman hawkins
Most musicians don't acknowledge the lyricist, but in this case you have given the lyricist (Edward Heyman) all the credit. The composer is John W. Green. The song was written for British star Gertrude Lawrence, who hired Green as accompanist in the US. It was first copyrighted 2/18/1930. Upon returning to England, Lawrence showed it to band leader Bert Ambrose, who broadcast it on BBC. It became an international hit, and was interpolated into the US show 'Three's a Crowd' in October, 1930.
Love his stride treatment. Good job.
