The Chocolate Dandies 
The JSP Records release entitled "Hoagy Carmichael -- Volume One"
includes no less than four of the earliest recordings of
'Stardust'
including one by a
group called The Chocolate Dandies. This is the earliest known recording of the
song by a group that did not include Hoagy himself. The Chocolate Dandies were a
Detroit based group that also was known as McKinney's Cotton Pickers.
