Gene Austin was a popular screen, radio & recording artist during the mid 1920's into the 1930's. He was known as "the voice of the south land" and a pioneer in the "crooning" style of singing. A jazz artist at heart, he was equally at home singing country ballads, blues and spirituals. His improvisational style apparent in his recordings, added a unique flavor to his interpretations.

I was born in the 80's and the sense of nostalgia I get from this is almost overwhelming. What an amazing song.

This is the original - this song published in 1926 by Ray Henderson (the composer) and lyricist Mort Dixon. The first recorded by Gene Austin.
