Nick Lucas – 1931
.
Lucas must have liked the song because he was still doing it in 1951
.
The Charleston Chasers — recorded 1930 or ’31, says the video provider
.
Lee Morse – recorded on 20 February 1931; issued on Columbia 2417-D, b/w “I’ve Got Five Dollars”
.
Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra – recorded in Chicago on 20 April 1931

Annette Hanshaw – 1931
.
Tom Barratt — issued on “Regal no.G21107,” according to the video provider, though 45Worlds.com indicates that a 78 rpm single by Tom Barratt was issued in July 1931 on (UK) Regal MR 348, b/w “Fall in Love With Me”
.
Jo Stafford with Paul Weston and his Orchestra – 1945
.
Nat King Cole had a hit with a 1951 recording. But this one sounds like late 50s to me.

I just discovered the sheet music recorded by Lonnie Ray and words & music by Roy Turk and Fred E. Ahlert in a collection from an estate that I purchased and am trying to find out if there’s any collection value.

Hi David,
Is it “Lonnie Ray” or Johnnie Ray?

David,
Probably not worth much, unless he signed it, or it’s a rare version. In a quick Google search I found many for sale at eBay, Amazon, etc., with prices ranging from $1.44 (+ shipping) to $9.99 (free shipping).
Regards,
doc
