The history of this simple but amazingly effective swing-era number is complex, beginning as a song composed for a 1932 Yiddish comedy by Sholom Secunda and lyricist Jacob Jacobs. A few years later Sammy Cahn heard the song and arranged to get the rights for an English version that became a meg-hit for the Andrews Sisters in late 1937. Although it hasn't been played that often as a guitar solo it's a natural in A minor. It's hard NOT to swing when you play this one!
