This version is sung by Wini Shaw
"Academy Award winner for the Best Movie Song of 1935, it's also one of the finest songs celebrating New York's Great White Way. In its original "Gold Diggers" form, the song became a brilliant production number designed by dance director Busby Berkeley; the ten minutes-plus production number literally illustrating the daily routine of a Broadway babe, sleeping by day and painting the town by night. The soundtrack recording from "Gold Diggers of 1935" features the tap dancing by the Busby Berkeley hoofers and it actually made the British pop singles chart in 1976!
