"Shanty in Old Shanty Town"
If YouTube is correct, there was an earlier Johnny Long release in 1940.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9-sW8JDr2wThis is Long's earlier and less frequently heard version of "Shanty Town," which he would record twice for the Decca label during the 1940s. It became his signature tune and reappeared in a new and somewhat brighter-sounding remake six years later.
...and then the second recording by Long was 1946. -Joe Offer-Transferred from the original 78rpm: Decca 3409 - In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town (Little-Siras-Young) by Johnny Long & his Orchestra, with vocal ensemble, recorded September 12, 1940
