who wrote is you is or is you ain't my baby lyrics
Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby It was co-written by Jordan and Billy Austin. Austin (March 6, 1896 â€“ July 24, 1964) was a songwriter and author, born in Denver, Colorado. The phrase "is you is or is you ain't" is dialect, apparently first recorded in a 1921 story by Octavus Roy Cohen, a Jewish writer from South Carolina who wrote humorous black dialect fiction. Glenn Miller recorded this song on a radio broadcast from Europe during World War II.
