That’s Ella Fitzgerald, if I remember correctly!

Fitzgerald had an exclusive contract with Decca and when they complained, Victor pulled the disk..

Yes it is. Yes that was.

One can easily look up the reference on EDVR as well.

They reissued it with "Goodnight" with a Betty Van vocal, and "'Taint No Use" on the B side with vocal refrain "apologetically" by Benny Goodman using the same catalog number if memory serves.

Benny tried out Jimmy Rushing on one Victor disc also but that didn't work out either as he was a Decca artist at the time as well.
