A number of early rock hits were written in the 1930's and reworked. This Rodgers and Hart tune came from the 1934 movie "Manhattan Melodrama" with Clark Gable, William Powell and Myrna Loy and has been done countless times since. Richard Rodgers later said he completely hated this rocked-up version. The Marcels, an interracial doo-wop group from Pittsburgh, made it their only #1 in April 1961. Fred Johnson is the bass singer doing all the bomp-ba-bomping.
