This song was a big seller for the Knickerbockers (a Ben Selvin pseudonym, recording for Columbia) and therefore Edison Labs had to issue a competing release. Billy Wynne's orchestra, which was playing the Greenwich Village Inn (at the corner of Grove St. and West
4th in New York, now an apartment building), recorded this side on June 18, 1925. It was written by Alex Gerber (co-author of "At the Prohibition Ball" as well as "Some Girls Do, Some Girls Don't") and Harry Akst (co-wrote "Dinah" and "Am I Blue"). While the
recording does not compare to Columbia's electrical waxing of the tune, the sonic qualities of Edison's acoustic method were as splendid as ever. Wynne's band played on the mild side of hot, and they do this danceable tune justice. The surface on this example
was very clean, needing only some rumble removal to sound great.
