From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The music was written by Harry Akst, the lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young. The song was published in 1925. It was introduced by Eddie Cantor in "Kid Boots" that year in Pittsburgh.
It was immensely popular with jazz bands of the period and beyond, with versions by Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, The Temperance Seven, and even Thelonious Monk.
A 1966 cover by the the Chambers Brothers was released as a single, and later as a bonus track on the CD reissue of The Time Has Come
