"The sweetest music this side of heaven". That side of the Wall St. crash too. Vocal: his brother Carmen, coauthor. Not to be confused with Irving Berlin's Coquette from the Mary Pickford talkie with that name ('29).
Covers:
Dorsey Brothers [their first hit]
Jimmy Beasley [at Cosimo Matassa's Gov. Nicholls St. studio]
Fats Domino [B-side of Whole Lotta Loving; did he knew Jimmy Beasley's or Guy Lombardo's version best? fact is Fats also recorded Red Sails In The Sunset, When My Dreamboat and What's The Reason I'm Not Pleasing You, just like Lombardo]
Paul McCartney [probably knew Fats Domino's version best]
