Thanks for this link, Bill. 
I'll take Ma Rainey over Peggy Lee any day.

Dear Steve, 
Mmmmmmm. 
As much as like Peggy Lee as a performer, this song is not for her. 
For me the definitive version was recorded by Ma Rainey in October 
1924, accompanied by a contingent from the Fletcher Henderson 
orchestra, and including a young Louis Armstrong. 
Kind regards, 
One-eyed Bill.
