History

Jack Palmer and Spencer Williams wrote it, and Clarence Williams published it in 1926. Clarence Williams' Blue Five introduced it that year, and Ted Lewis and Ethel Waters both had popular records of it. Palmer and Williams had already written "Everybody Loves My Baby" together in 1924.

Sidney Bechet's New Orleans Feetwarmers recorded it on September 15, 1932. Charlie Christian's solo on Benny Goodman's 1941 record of it is one of the guitarist's best known.
