The credits and Leeds Publishing Company list Watson as a co-writer. Best later claimed that Watson had nothing to do with the creation of the song, but Watson maintained in his late 1960s autobiography that he and Best wrote the song together, lyrics and music respectively. Best was a member of Watson’s group, the Brown Dots. The song was published in 1945 and released by Watson’s quartet with Joe King as lead vocalist on the Manor Records label (catalog No. 1041A).
