Some notes about the composition as found on
[ Ссылка ]

Composers: Wayne King, Victor Young, Egbert Van Alstyne

Lyricist: Haven Gillespie

Year: 1931

Origin: Introduced by the Wayne King Orchestra in 1931, also featured in the 1932 film The Mummy.

Style: Introduced as a waltz, it is most commonly played in 4/4.

Form: A-B1-A-B2 (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8]

Verse: A1-A2-B (24 Bars) [8-8-8]
Very rarely ever included in performances, it can be heard on Lewis James' recording from 1931.

Key: Most commonly played in D minor

Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is very functional and remains almost entirely diatonic. It takes place primarily in the relative minor and is made up of mostly II - V - I's. The A sections begin with a minor II - V to Imi and continue with a II - V to the relative Major. The B sections are very similar to one another however both have slightly different endings. Both B sections begin with Imi7 - IVmi7 - bVI7 - V7, although B1 ends with Imi7 - IV7 - IIm7b5 - V7 while B2 finishes the form with a Imi - VImi7b5 - bVI7 - V7 turnaround back to Imi.

Recordings: This song has been recorded over 250 times to date. It was first introduced in 1931 by Wayne King and his Orchestra, and it was also featured in the 1932 Universal Studios film The Mummy. It wouldn't be until the 1950's that jazz musicians started to include the piece in their repertoire more frequently, with recordings from the likes of Benny Carter, Anita O'Day, and George Shearing. Bill Evan's recording from his 1961 album Explorations was a particularly influential rendition.
