Recorded in New York City on November 19th 1929 featuring Clarence Williams vocals & leader, Charlie Gaines trumpet, Arville Harris clarinet & alto sax, James P. Johnson piano & celeste, and Floyd Casey washboard.

*"You Don't Understand" was composed by Clarence Williams, Spencer Williams, and James P. Johnson.

The song co-written by the two pianists features Clarence Williams only as a vocalist while providing
Johnson with plenty of room to orchestrate his musical point of view on the keys.
