Andy Kirk's band was one of the early swing bands that began the transition from the traditional style to swing in the late 20s and early 30s. The band consisted of some fine musicians, notably pianist Mary Lou Williams who was an arranger and mainstay of the band. On this number singer Billy Massey gives the vocal refrain. I can't find out who wrote this number - does anybody know?

Mark Rubin,

Tex Williams nailed an amazingly swinging version in the early 50's as well.

Not sure everyone would call it the "best" version, but there is certainly a very memorable version by Roy Evans 'The Yodelin' Man' from 1930 posted by cdbpdx. It features the singer, so the band plays a supporting role but nevertheless does some very nice work. And the vocal has to be heard - description doesn't do it justice! It's my favorite version (so far)...

Thanks for posting! I NEVER HEARD ANY EARLY ANDY KIRK TUNES TILL I FOUND YOUTUBE! I think I have a version of this by Earl Burtnetts Hotel Biltmore Orchestra. Andy Kirks band was great!! PeterDeRose also wrote "Muddy Water", "Rain" , "Somebody Loves You" and "On a Little Street In Singapore". Great standards from the 20s and 30s!

No, but he is the same composer who wrote Deep Purple.

Thanks for useful info. Was that the same Rose who wrote Deep Henderson?

I love this song! The best version (I think) is by Henry Hall and His Gleneagles Hotel Band. It's been posted here on YouTube by 'longpast78'. I believe the actual title is "I Lost My Gal From Memphis" and was written by Peter de Rose and Charles Tobias in 1930.
