Notes:
This apparently is the second take. First take status unknown.
Holiday first known rendition of this song (she will record it at least 10 more times after that, making the identification pretty hairy in compilations).

Notes

This, along with Brunswick 7640, is the first recording session of Ella without Chick Webb and his Orchestra.
