This side was produced in Chicago on April 3rd 1930 featuring Miss Billie Young vocals, accompanied by Jelly Roll Morton piano.

*"When They Get Lovin' They's Gone" was written by Porter Grainger.

Billie Young was an actress and friend of Jelly Roll Morton. Though her style of singing is often compared to that of Lee Morse, her blue vocalization presented here is more so reminiscent of one frequently used by singers like Adelaide Hall and Nina Mae McKinney.
