Unreleased track from Sing to Me Mr. C. ~ original album circa 1961

This song was featured by Al Jolson and then sung by him in the 1929 Hollywood Musical "Say It With Songs". He later sung it on the soundtrack for the 1949 Hollywood Musical "Jolson Sings Again" dubbing for Larry Parks and on records for Decca. Perry recorded this song during the sessions for his 1961 album "Sing To Me Mr. C." as one of two songs, "It All Depends On You" being the other, excluded from the album. This full length album of song medleys was recorded, remarkably, in three days.
