This song is, appearing to have first been recorded by "the last of the red hot mamas" in San Francisco in 1911.<br />
Tucker had an amazing career. Her recordings appear on original Edison cylinders (this song among them), and<br />
she appeared on television at least as late as Ed Sullivan's show in December, 1964. This song, in particular,<br />
became her acknowledged theme song -- and was one of very few from that era written by a black yet recorded<br />
by, and accepted by, the world at large. Brooks was far from a one-hit wonder, himself -- you may also<br />
remember another of his tunes called "Darktown Strutters Ball."
