It was a hit in 1927 for several artists. In 1950 it was revived by Al Jolson. Jaye P. Morgan (a female singer) had a minor hit with the song in 1959, reaching #65. Her version is likely the one Elvis was most familiar with. Elvis recorded it when his manager, Colonel Parker, asked him to try the song because it was a favorite of Parker's wife, Marie. It was a huge hit, spending six weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 between November 1960 and January 1961. Turk and Handman would have earned enormous royalties, but they were both dead by the time Elvis recorded the song.
