Manhattan Transfer took Jefferson's version a step farther: four-part harmony--and what smooth harmonies! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zox7C_RVC9o As for the two versions, it appears there are at least three that date back to 1930, when the song was written. I have sheet music from that era where the lyrics are as Libby Holman sang them. But in 1930 both Annette Hanshaw and Ruth Etting recorded this song with substantially different lyrics (both in verse and chorus) from those of the Q and Holman versions. Annette Hanshaw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFs9btclFOw Ruth Etting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_6s742bm-I A record label for an Etting recording (also for a Louis Armstrong recording) credit only Green, Heyman and Sour, not Eyton. But, on Hanshaw's recording, the label credits all three lyricists.
