History/Background:
Written originally for the Chick Webb band by Edgar Sampson, it was rerecorded on Feb 26, 1938. It's been covered by many groups from Bing Crosby with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra in 1938, Frank Sinatra, Billy May and His Orchestra in 1961, Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Riddle in 1962, to Buddy Emmons (who I know from the Redneck Jazz Explosion) & Ray Pennington in 1994.
Edgar Melvin Sampson (October 31, 1907 - January 16, 1973), nicknamed "The Lamb", was an American jazz composer, arranger, saxophonist, and violinist. Born in New York City, he began playing violin aged six and picked up the saxophone in high school. He worked as an arranger and composer for many jazz bands in the 1930s and 1940s. Through the rest of the 1920s and early 1930s, Sampson played with many bands, including those of Charlie "Fess" Johnson, Duke Ellington, Rex Stewart and Fletcher Henderson.
In the late 1940s through the 1950s, he worked with Latin performers such as Marcelino Guerra, Tito Rodríguez and Tito Puente as an arranger.
