The song was introduced in the 1921 Broadway musical Bombo, where it was performed by Al Jolson. It has become a well-known Jolson trademark, recorded by him many times, but it has also been recorded by many other artists.

Jolson first recorded the song in October 1921 on Columbia records.

Spike Jones and Doodles Weaver produced a parody that began with these lyrics:
When April showers, she never closes the curtain...
