Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me
Duke Ellington & His Orchestra’s 1943 recording of “Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me” is the earliest release on file. Duke Ellington shares the writing credit with Bob Russell. Also recorded by Billie Holiday (released 1946), Oscar Peterson (released 1953) and Dinah Washington (released 1962), among 445 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Ellington's own orchestra had this one on record back in 1943, and Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald both took turns with it before Quincy did. Play Duke's band first, then go looking for the quieter name sharing his credit.
