Sarah Vaughan - Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home (Live from Sweden) Mercury Records 1964

“(Won’t You Come Home) Bill Bailey“, originally titled “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home?“ is a popular song published in 1902. It is commonly referred to as simply “Bill Bailey“. Its words and music were written by Hughie Cannon (1877--1912), an American songwriter and pianist. It is still a standard with Dixieland and traditional jazz bands. The simple 32-bar chord sequence of its chorus also underpins many other tunes played mainly by jazz bands, such as “Over the Waves“, “Washington and Lee Swing“, “Bourbon Street Parade“, “My Little Girl“, and the final themes of “Tiger Rag“ and “The Beer Barrel Polka“. Sarah’s accompanied by Kirk Stuart (piano), Charles “Buster“ Williams (bass), and Georges Hughes (drums). Recorded in Sweden, 1964. (Mercury Records)
