Description
From the Rick Colom Collection: With a couple of word changes, this most unusual Cole Porter tune (see Wikipedia for the song’s interesting backstory) was one of four titles by singer Challis issued on Victor (2 of them) and Bluebird (the other 2) as “Peggy Johnson & her Orchestra.” Rust-Johnson-Shirley reveals no names of the session musicians or leader. Most recordings on which Beth Challis appeared had been issued between 1926 and 1928. See also the flipside “The Story Of Frankie And Johnnie.”
