[78-L] Hong Kong Blues

[Bud Black]

I seem to remember having a recording of Hoagy singing his Hong Kong Blues
and using the phrase, "Here's the story of a very unfortunate colored man...
.."  When did he change "colored" to "Memphis?"

That's the one I was thinking of. He'd previously recorded it for Brunswick
in
1938 and Decca in 1939 (unissued) and 1942, and ARA with a wacky Billy May
chart in 1945. And probably later on LP. There's a version on AFRS which
says
"Do Not Play!" and as I recall, it's the ARA recording.
