Annotation

Matrix: Fox Trot 60057A.
Recording Date: 12 October 1935
Recording Location: New York, USA
Personnel: Probably performed by Chick Webb and his Orchestra minus Fitzgerald (see the other tracks from that date), vocal chorus by Taft Jordon. There is still uncertainty about the exact personnel though (notably Bill Thomas vs John Kirby). For now, see http://ellafitzgerald.altervista.org/discog_01.htm vs http://www.proper-records.co.uk/artists.php?action=alview&alid=1540

ASCAP title code: 390061155
Additional:
Has a Wikipedia page.
Had a number of title variations (mostly shortening this), including Auf Galapagos mit dir allein.
This was already a classic by the time of that release (published in 1929 by Warner Bros), though it's unknown who first performed it (Dinah Shore?).
It has since been covered numerous times (by Basie, Brubeck, Hawkins, Getz, Davis...).
Apparently played only once by Chick Webb formation.
