Bye Bye Blues

Bandleader Fred Hamm and pianist Dave Bennett published it in 1925, and Hamm's orchestra recorded it for Victor, but it went nowhere. In 1930 it came back with a new verse and lyric, Bert Lown and Chauncey Gray were added to the credits, and Lown's Hotel Biltmore Orchestra recorded it. At least six more records followed within a year, including ones by Louis Armstrong and Frankie Trumbauer. Les Paul and Mary Ford's multitracked version charted at the end of 1952 and peaked at number 5.
