Post 202: 'IF YOU DON'T, I KNOW WHO WILL'; BESSIE SMITH

In 1923, Bessie Smith recorded If You Don't, I Know Who Will, with Fletcher Henderson at the piano. It is a minor classic.

Tuba Skinny recorded it on their first CD in 2009; but as far as I know there is no YouTube version of them performing it.

This is how I play it on my keyboard. The first twelve bars are the Verse. Then comes the 26-bar Chorus (including a two-bar tag).
