This recording was produced in New York City on August 21st 1928 featuring Ethel Waters vocals, accompanied by Clarence Williams piano.

*"West End Blues" was composed by Joe 'King' Oliver.

The tune was recorded two months prior by Louis Armstrong and became his biggest hit resulting in his popularity nationwide. Ethel Waters offers formidable competition with her own vocal rendition.
