According to Rust, this may well be a Bob Haring pseudonym, but it is impossible to confirm this fact. The song is by Irving Mills, who is also singing the vocal. Between 1919 and 1965 he became the largest independent music publisher in the world. He discovered many great songwriters. He also discovered or greatly advanced the careers of C. Calloway, Ellington, B. Pollack, J. Teagarden, B. Goodman a.o. Mills was not a composer, but his contract with Ellington was a very favorable one; he owned 50% in Duke Ellington Inc. and thus got his name tag on quite a number of tunes that became popular standards. Mills was one of the first to record black and white musicians together. Irving was recording all the time and became the head of the American Recording Company, which is now Columbia Records. He profusely performed on radio as a singer. He produced one picture, Stormy Weather, for Twentieth Century Fox in 1943. This hot tune was recorded in 1929.
