[Dixielandjazz] Who wrote Sing, Sing, Sing

[Jerry Gordon]

I've often wondered about the Christopher Columbus reference. I thought it
might have been a coded reference to some musician who was recording for one
label when he was under contract to another.

I always thought Sing, Sing, Sing was an expansion of Chu Berry's 
Christopher Columbus as recorded by Fletcher Henderson.

A woman is standing nude looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy
with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old,
fat and ugly... I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.
