Nobodys Rose - William Robyn (1921)

Not issued until 1921, this was the second of three released versions of the blues standard by early recording star Harris (also 1916 for Victor & 1923 for Brunswick). The song is best-known to later generations as part of the “Just A Gigolo / I Ain’t Got Nobody” medley introduced by Louis Prima and revived by David Lee Roth.

Transferred from low-fidelity pre-electrical era 78rpm: Columbia A-3371 - I Ain’t Got Nobody (Warfield) by Marion Harris, orchestra probably conducted by Charles A. Prince, recorded in NYC April 21, 1920.
