  • Yeah, this song is from 1950s.

  • @RomanKudrenko This recording yes, but the first song recording is from 1929.

  • @LucaC1993Production So I guess there should be an original 1929 recording 'cause the playlist is about roaring 20s.

  • @RomanKudrenko Of course. But I'd rather to upload a better version, so I've decided to get only this version from 1956.

  • Ricky Riccardi's excellent 'dippermouth blogspot' has a great feature on this tune, it's from his blog for Monday 9th November 2009 and he examines in detail various performances by Louis Armstrong, including this one.
