NOTE: Thanks to YT friend: laughinglion24 I can put into my info the details about the vocal. The singing & piano is by Afro/American jazz artist Turner Layton. Thanks!
NOTE2: Added a few weeks later: Turner Layton was one of the famous American-British Black Duettists Layton & Johnstone. Their recordings can be easily found in You Tube, also in my site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYbJN53G0AQ

This is unquestionably Turner Layton (vocal and piano), recorded 3 January 1936 on Columbia. Carroll Gibbons doesn't come into it. We've now waited 7 years for this mistake to be corrected.10 years ago

Yes - Turner Layton. Never saw him or Hutch, but I have slight preference for TL.10 years ago

I personally think this is a better version of the more well-known Artie Shaw version.10 years ago

Just marvellous! Carroll Gibbons as leader surely was one of the best orchestras whether with the Savoy Hotel Orpheans or His Boyfriends (how that sounds odd today!)13 years ago
