From 1929. Written for the Broadway show Connie's Hot Chocolates. Lyrics by Andy Razaf, music by Fats Waller and Harry Brooks. Razaf and Waller were later to collaborate on Honeysuckle Rose.
This version by Louis Armstrong, featuring Louis on vocals and trumpet (starting at 2:02). The horn solo includes a riff from Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue at 2:12. Armstrong sat in with the orchestra during the run of the show and played the song between acts so he helped popularize it even before this recording.
