Recorded ca. 1936. Chick Webb's Orchestra was the house band at the Savoy in Harlem during the early Swing Era. He hired Ella Fitzgerald after she won a singing contest in 1935. Ella was 17 at the time. Chick Webb had tuberculosis of the spine, and died in 1938. Louis Jordan went on to form his own band in the 40s. Ella Fitzgerald took over Webb's band when Webb died.

I first heard this tune in a soundis short they showed on American Movie Classics (in the days when AMC was not a joke) sung by a different band and musician. Nice chords and great job by this band!

@murraymae Do you remember the movie's name? I'd be interested in seeing this.
There's a video on YouTube about Chick Webb that is from Ken Burns' min-series, Jazz. YouTube won't let me post a link, so find it this way: Search for
Chick Webb Benny Goodman
p.s. Look up Chick Webb on Wikipedia. It's very fascinating.
