[2] Sung there by Virginia Verrill,[3] it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1937 but lost out to "Sweet Leilani".

The song was immediately a hit in a version recorded by Shep Fields and His Rippling Rhythm Orchestra, considered to have spent fourteen weeks on the charts in 1937, four at #1.

The song is also featured in the 1981 film, Body Heat, played at an outdoor summer concert by a big band on stage.

That's when the main character, Hermie, visits Dorothy shortly after she has received the news of her husband's death in World War II.

The title of the song was given to a film in 1997, starring Bette Midler and Dennis Farina, where it was performed by Patrick Williams and by Louis Armstrong and Oscar Peterson.
