78s fRom HeLL: Erskine Butterfield and his Blue Boys - Foo-Gee

Erskine Butterfield was an East Coast pioneer of the cocktail piano, with his earlier efforts being more rooted in Boogie-Woogie and Jazz.

Full of fine and mellow hep-cat lingo, it looks like his song 'Foo-Gee' was first recorded around 1941, with a successful cover version by the Ink Spots following soon after.
