I Gotta A Right To Sing The Blues

Composed in 1932 by Harold Arlen (music) and Ted Koehler (lyrics).  Arlen and Koehler also together wrote Get Happy, I've Got The World on a String, and Stormy Weather.  With other lyricists, Arlen wrote the music for Over The Rainbow (as well as the other songs featured in The Wizard of Oz), The Man That Got Away, That Old Black Magic, It's Only A Paper Moon, and One For My Baby (And One More For The Road).  Louis Armstrong puts his unique stamp on this version with his horn and voice.
