this is a recording of the wonderful Lil Green featuring Big Bill Bronzy on guitar, of the song Weedsmokers Dream - the original title of Why Don't You Do Right made famous by Peggy Lee. I think the recording is from 1938 or there abouts. The video was an experiment - if nothing else its a fantastic song!

  • BRILLIANT !!!!!!

  • This version was in the movie "Diner"

  • Thanks for this post ! Love the famous Peggy Lee/ Goodman version [ hip and swinging like a m....] but this is on another level ! Wonderful.

  • This track can be found on an album called Honeydipper - I just love her voice and the Kathleen Turner version sounds so crude after this version!

  • thx for the post. Really nice version, and the original one, i think.

  • Gracias por la grabación. Me alegra poder recuperarla en Internet
