Even though the music of Fats Waller (d.1943) is public domain in most countries except the USA, the co-composer of the music for this piece was Henry Brooks (1895-1970), whose works remain under copyright in Canada and life-plus-50 countries until January 1, 2021. The words for this song were authored by Andy Razaf (1895-1973) and will therefore not enter Canada's public domain until January 1, 2024. |
