Someone credited Huggin' and Chalkin' to Hoagy Carmichael. While he 
recorded it, it was written by the great and unforgettable Clancy Hayes. 
Let's give credit where credit is due. By the way - Clancy's name was 
Clarence Leonard Hayes -- no wonder he used Clancy!
Of all the versions of this song ever recorded, none surpass the 
composer doing it - though Hoagy is a close second in my mind -- or 
what's left of my mind!
One man's opinion on performance, but works for me!
