Billy Eckstine is right up there alongside other Unsung/Famous Heart throb Crooners of 40s, 50s, 60s: Engelbert Humperdinck, Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Mel Torme, Vic Damone, Dean Martin, and many more
This song came out in 1931 and was recorded by Bing Crosby and others, but Billy truly had the definitive version with this recording-- 20 years after it was written and published. What a spectacular recording!
OF COURSE LOVERS OF GREAT SINGERS KNOW ALL ABOUT BILLY ECKSTINE...BUT..LISTEN TO WHAT BLACK SINGERS WERE LIKE THEN LISTEN TO THE SHEET TODAYS BLACKS LISTEN TO....THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON GREATNESS FOR CRAP RAP AND DEGENERATE CLOWNS WHO RAP IT...
