Hmmm. I thought this was composed by Bob Dorough (and originally recorded by him)?

@hotfish2009 first popularized by Herbie Mann with Tucker on bass. Tucker then got Dorough to write lyrics for it...

Ah, Frank Haynes on tenor. What a nice big warm tone. Too bad he didn't stick around very long. Thanks for posting. Haynes can also be heard in excellent form on Grant Green's "Green Blues" album.
