Truly fun 1931. version - and very different from Ethel Water's sentimental ballad recording - where Bing stars slowly with that famous croon, before Mills Brothers join in and totally destroy any idea that this ever was torch song. They romp so deliciously together that Bing can't resist and clowns with them in this neck-breaking speed (he actually matches them pretty good) the result being one of the best versions of "Dinah" ever. I used to like Waters but this must be my new favorite now.
