As a kid (1970's) I found the old Columbia 78 of this tune (the original version, not this remake) at a yard sale-- It was pretty darn worn, but I played it on my old Webcor tube phonograph and wore it out even more!
Harry and his orchestra originally recorded "James Session" for Columbia Records (#36677) in 1942 as the b-side to "I Heard You Cried Last Night." The band also performed this tune in the wartime comedy film, "Private Buckaroo."
