Peggy recorded this Lee-Barbour song three times in 1946. The first version, from May 14, was recorded as a transcription disc exclusively for radio play. The second version, on July 12, remained unreleased until 2008 (see “Listen” link above). The third version, recorded October 17, was released soon thereafter by Capitol Records. In September 1947 it was recorded for Columbia Records by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, featuring singer Al Hibbler.
