I do recall Josh White's version, as mentioned above. I may still have an old LP of his that includes the song. Others have followed suit, but White's version was as notable, in its time, as any other, if a little less professionally produced and slick than Billie Holliday's. White, who performed live for President and Mrs. Roosevelt and was a favorite of theirs, came as close to claiming the song as his own as anyone else.
