It was on This Day in.Jazz, July 5th 1939, Billie Holiday recorded her version on Vocalion Records a label known for jazz and blues which also issued Robert Johnsons “Cross Road Blues” just two years before. It is Bille’s version of Them There Eyes which is noted to have solidified it as a Jazz Standard.
The lyrics were penned by William G Tracey in 1930 when collaborating with Maceo Pinkard and Doris Tauber to publish Them There Eyes. Initially used in the 1931 Film “Lets Do Things”, it was later recorded by both Bing Crosby and Duke Ellington that same year.
