The most notable recordings were made by Judy Garland, who recorded it numerous times, including in the 1938 film Listen, Darling and for Decca Records in 1939.[1] It later became a standard number in her concerts and TV shows when she performed it as an up-tempo arrangement by Nelson Riddle from her 1958 Capitol album.
The Coasters released a rock & roll version in April 1958 as the flip side of their #1 hit "Yakety Yak". This version would inspire the British band The Move to record the song in the late '60s.
In 1972, a recording by the Trammps reached No. 17 on the Billboard, Best Selling Soul Singles chart and No. 64 on the Hot 100.[2]
