The most notable recordings were made by Judy Garland, who recorded it numerous times, including in the 1938 film Listen, Darling and for Decca Records in 1939.[1] It later became a standard number in her concerts and TV shows when she performed it as an up-tempo arrangement by Nelson Riddle from her 1958 Capitol album.

In 1972, a recording by The Trammps reached No. 17 on the Billboard, Best Selling Soul Singles chart and No. 64 on the Hot 100.[2]
