@Myrtle791 Your absolutely correct about that. Weems also had a 'boy singer' about that time by the name of Perry Como. Several groups recorded this in the 50s, the best one I've heard from that era was by the Four Aces.

Ray was first of all from the beginning a jazz trombonist. He was 40 years old before his "orchestra and chorus" period began. And that period lasted almost another 40 years!!!! So, Ray was a 'swinging cat' from the beginning of the big band era who ultimately found universal success by arranging for a larger popular audience rather than for a smaller jazz/big band following.

So this is Ray on tbone. This stuff is way before my time but... classics like this never die. Smokin' playing for sure.

As a long time Conniff fan since 1958 I never seen him play his trombone. He was Artie Shaw's arranger for the pre war period striking out on his own in the mid/late 50's I would think this performance is from around the late 50's. The distinctive shuffle-beat, so appealing, surged his popularity throughout the 60's

[Myrtle791]

I believe this song first came out in the 1930's or '40's by the Ted Weems Orchestra with the melody whistled by one Elmo Tanner. Seem to recall that it became popular, again, in the early '50's.
