The Delta Rhythm Boys sing the title song in this lively soundie.
It's one of more than two thousand "soundies" produced between 1939 and 1947, meant to be played on a device called a Mills Panoram. For seven years they could be found in bars, night clubs, and other places where people would gather. Think of them as music videos, available for viewing at a dime a song. Other companies got into the production end also.
The Delta Rhythm Boys perform the song on a set made up to look like a subway train (presumably the A) along with a lively backup chorus of dancers. They're a close-harmony group whose version is lively and melodious.
