A rare radio broadcast of Billie Holiday singing this early 1920's blues hit by Porter Grainger & Everett Robbins. Bessie Smith and Alberta Hunter both recorded the song in 1923, and arguably was best known as a Fats Waller number.
I don't have date of this broadcast, but Stan Getz contributesan obligato tenor. He did the same in a recording of this same tune in 1951 at Storyville, but with some different musicians, but Billie's regular pianist Buster harding is on both.
Ive heard this version before I always wondered where it was from. But its a Holiday tune so its a beautiful thing
