It goes to prove that all things come to those who wait. I always heard the legend that the record didn't do much in the '30s, but a North Carolina disk jockey found a copy in 1947, dusted it off, and began playing it everyday. The locals began whistling it and somehow it became popular across the entire nation. RCA dug out the old master and made a fortune for Mr. Weems. Anybody have more details?

As my loveable (but slightly gramatically incorrect) 79 year old brother in law would say...
"It don't get no better!"
Thanks for this

As stated earlier recorded in 1933 and 1938 It's interesting that neither one was a success when originally recorded. Both charted in 1947 when re-released

@michaeljayklein You are really welcome, I'm glad you like this classic too!
Something is wrong with technics here? Sometime during the song some other version starts and I hear two versions at the same time.

@ErnieHollerhagen It sounds like you opened two internet windows somehow or clicked on the song twice, opening up two playing videos at the same time.

Super cool, dude! I'll add this one to my "must have" list. This treasure was recorded something like fifty years before I was even born, and I'm glad that folks like The Lime Popsicle put this stuff up here so that I can fall in love with it as much as the folks who were around when this stuff was new. You rock, dude!

Any chance of uploading "Nola"? My dad loved Ted Weems and Elmo Tanner and we thought (when we were kids in the sixties) this music was funny and cool at the same time!
