Maytime, 1937

The main article cites this film.
However, the IMDb's soundtrack listing makes no mention of the song.
Neither does this longer plot synopsis.
Is Maytime the correct Nelson Eddy film?

Al Jolson

I'm not aware that Al Jolson recorded the song. It's possible that he did, though I don't know that it would be considered as being part of his popular output. I'd be interested to know if there's a currently-available recording, if it's certain that he did record it.

Non-PC variant

At http://www.archive.org/details/CompleteBroadcastDay you can find the whole day of Sept. 21, 1939 recorded and translated to modern MP3s. Within there (I apologize I've forgotten when specifically) is the Shortnin' Bread song, but using the now very non-PC lyrics: "Mammy's little darkies". How times have changed. :| —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.59.203 (talk) 05:53, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Viscounts version

The Viscounts also did this song, but I'm not sure when. It's kind of a jazzed-up version much different than the version my Dad sang to us when I was a kid. 72.86.42.38 (talk) 20:36, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
