I will accept an answer with either of the first two of 20 artists to make this song famous.

    Correct! Since I’m new at this, could you name one or both of the first popular singers (when I said artist that’s what I meant). I will post the title with the premiere or secondary famous singer when you name them or enough time passes.

      Ethel Waters and Duke Ellington did early versions. Lena Horne sang it for the movies I think. Depends how famous you like your famous, I suppose.

        Ethel Waters was what I was looking for. Although she and Ivy Anderson both sang it in 1933; the latter sang with Duke Ellington.
