The show also included Waller's hit compositions "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose".
Louis Armstrong later performed and recorded the song several times.
His rendition of it is distinct from that of Edith Wilson due to his omission of a lot of the context of the song.
Blues singer Ethel Waters's 1930 version of the song became a hit, and the song has been recorded by many artists since then.
Frankie Laine's 1946 version was featured in the 2011 video game "L.A. Noire", as part of the in-game radio station, K.T.I. Radio.
