Waller recorded the original version that year for Victor Records and also later performed the song in the 1943 film Stormy Weather. In a 1941 interview with Eddie %22Rochester%22 Anderson, Fats claimed the song was written while %22lodging%22 in alimony prison, and that is why he was not %22misbehaving%22.There were six other recordings of the song released in 1929, including versions by Louis Armstrong, Ruth Etting, Gene Austin, and Leo Reisman and His Orchestra.
