"Twentieth Century Blues" (or "20th Century Blues")

I would like to you include this song in your database. It's a Noël Coward song, and it has a lot of versions. Some examples:

Noël Coward,

Ursula Jeans,

Al Bowlly + New Mayfair Novelty Orchestra,

Al Bowlly + Ray Noble Orchestra,

Michael Laws Picadilly Dance Orchestra,

Jack Payne and his BBC Dance Orchestra,

Henry Hall Gleneagles Hotel Band,

Lily Tomlin,

Marianne Faithfull,

Daryl Cherman & Dave McKenna,

Karen Akers,

Elton John, ...

To put them in chronological order would be great. Thanks!

Maybe this one as original?
