Popular recordings in 1930 were by The High Hatters (on Victor 22322) and by Smith Ballew and his Orchestra.[1] A good early recording is found on the album "The Song Hits of 1930 (Jazz Age Chronicles, Vol. 9)", and is sung by The Charleston Chasers.[2] This is, perhaps, the way Coslow and Harling intended it to be performed. A version was released in 1930 by Hit of the Week Records, credited to Harlem Hot Chocolates but actually performed by Duke Ellington and his band.[3] In Britain, the song was recorded by the duo Bob and Alf Pearson.[4]
A popular version was recorded by Tony Bennett for Columbia Records (No. CO44125) on July 20, 1950.[5] Bennett also recorded the song on several more occasions.[6] In addition it is featured on Tony Bennett album Duets: An American Classic when he sings it with singer John Legend. In 1951 Margaret Whiting performed the song with orchestra directed by Frank DeVol (Capitol 1417 78rpm).
The song was used in the 1955 film I'll Cry Tomorrow when it was sung and danced by Susan Hayward and the chorus. It is also heard in a medley montage by Susan Hayward (vocal) and Eddie Albert (piano).[7]
