This grand tune has a fascinating story. Written by Duke Ellington, Don George, Johnny Hodges and Harry James. It was a big number 6 hit for Ella Fitzgerald and the Ink Spots in 1944 and followed in 1945 with a number 1 version by Harry James and Kitty Kallen. The Duke put out his own version in 1945 and it reached number 10. I remember them so well. This clip is from the Lawrence Welk TV Show "Music Of Irving Berlin."
Excellent performance!
