I had never heard of this song until I received a CD from my friend and former employer in Maine. He aired some programs about Jazz on his station and sent me a few. On one of them is this song recorded many years ago by Herald Arlen. Arlen was the composer of all the songs from The Wizard of Oz. He also wrote hundreds of other songs including Stormy Weather and The Man That Got Away. I never knew that he had started out in the early days as a singer. But now I have a recording of him singing this song.
