Style: Initially introduced at a medium slow swing, it has since taken a wide variety of treatments. Form: A-B-A-C (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8] Verse: A-B-C (12 Bars) [4-4-4] The 12 bar introductory verse is seldom played. Ruth Etting’s 1931 recording is one of the very few vocal renditions to include it. Key: Although this song has come to be most commonly played in C Major many of its initial recordings take varying keys. Ruth Etting sang it in F, Mildred Bailey in G, and Louis Armstrong in Bb. Musicians such as Oscar Peterson and Charlie Parker performed it in Ab. Harmony/Overview: The harmony is very much in line with other leading standards of the era and is very functional. The A sections begin with the movement of I – III7 and proceed to cycle through Dom7 and min7 chords in a predictable manner. In place of the IV – IVmi in the final C section a common reharmonization is instead use IV - # IVdim7. Recordings: This tune has been recorded over 470 times. Belle baker was the first to introduce the song to the public over the radio in 1931, although the first recording was made by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra with Mildred Bailey on vocals the same year. Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and Frank Sinatra are some of the many vocalists who have left behind iconic recordings of the standard.
