The original of this work is by Dick Haymes with The Gordin Jenkins Orchestra (rec. December 21, 1947), Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra (rec. December 20 or 21, 1947) or Bob Houston and Jerry Sears Orchestra (rec. 1947). Although there are at least four covers of this work dating from December, 1947, and at least one other from 1948, it appears that none of these recordings were released until 1949.
