This recording was produced in Long Island City, New York during May of 1922 featuring Ethel Waters vocals, accompanied by her "Jazz Masters", with Fletcher Henderson piano & leader.

*"That Da Da Strain" was composed by Mamie Medina and Edgar Dowell.

The jazz age was a time of transition and development filled with a consistent flow of the latest melodies and dance steps falling in and out of trend. Ethel Waters sings about one such fad, a new infectious tune that she just can't seem to get out of her head.
