Andy Razaf (December 16, 1895 – February 3, 1973) was an African American poet, composer and lyricist of such well-known songs as "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose".
Razaf was born in Washington, D.C. His birth name was Andriamanantena Paul Razafinkarefo.

BETTE MIDLER "MEMORIES OF YOU" (Andy Razaf & Eubie Blake) BEST HD QUALITY
This is the 'Divine Ms. M', Bette Midler's lovely version of "Memories Of You". The song was written by Andy Razaf and Eubie Blake in 1930 and introduced by singer Minto Cato in the Broadway show "Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1930". There have been many different recordings of this song. I personally think the version by Anita O'Day really stands out. Enjoy! Thanks For Your Comments.

Andy Razaf (December 16, 1895 – February 3, 1973) was an African American poet, composer and lyricist of such well-known songs as "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose".
Razaf was born in Washington, D.C. His birth name was Andriamanantena Paul Razafinkarefo. He was the son of Henri Razafinkarefo, nephew of Queen Ranavalona III of Imerina kingdom in Madagascar, and Jennie (Waller) Razafinkarefo, the daughter of John L. Waller, the first African American consul to Imerina. The French invasion of Madagascar left his father dead, and forced his pregnant 15-year-old mother to escape to the United States, where he was born in 1895.
He was raised in Harlem, Manhattan, and at the age of 16 he quit school and took a job as an elevator operator at a Tin Pan Alley office building. A year later he penned his first song text, embarking on his career as a lyricist. During this time he would spend many nights in the Greyhound Lines bus station in Times Square and would pick up his mail at the Gaiety Theatre office building which was considered the black Tin Pan Alley.
Some of Razaf's early poems were published in 1917–18 in the Hubert Harrison-edited Voice, the first newspaper of the "New Negro Movement". Razaf collaborated with composers Eubie Blake, Don Redman, James P. Johnson, Harry Brooks, and Fats Waller. Among the best-known Razaf-Waller collaborations are "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Honeysuckle Rose", "The Joint Is Jumpin'", "Willow Tree", "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now" and "(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue". His music was played by other Tin Pan Alley musicians, as well as Benny Goodman, Eubie Blake, Cab Calloway and many others. He was a contributor and editor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League's Negro World newspaper.

On the evening of 7/2/14, Legendary Jazz Guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, along with accomplished musicians, Pianist Russ Kassoff and Bassist Jerry Bruno entertained a packed house at Shanghai Jazz in Madison, NJ. This number features an all-time favorite, "Honeysuckle Rose," written by Fats Waller and Andy Razaf.
Shanghai Jazz was opened in summer of 1995 by David Niu and Martha Chang. While studying in a doctorate program, Martha did extensive research on 1920’s Shanghai. During that tumultuous period globally, Shanghai was a destination for those looking to escape the depression in America, the rise of fascism in Eastern Europe, the penal colonies in Australia, among many other difficult situations around the world at that time. With myriad different cultures flooding into the city, the cuisines evolved, a dark and violent vein sprouted, and an incredible music scene developed and jazz was the genre that kept folks swinging in the clubs!
With this as inspiration, Shanghai Jazz was born. David and Martha drove this unique concept for 22 years and counting, as one of the “Top 100 Jazz Clubs in the World” (Downbeat Magazine).
In the summer of 2017, Shanghai Jazz was passed on to Thomas Donohoe with a 29 year career in hospitality, 18 of those years he was a chef, leading award winning kitchens from New Jersey to Montana, Florida, and New York City. He trained with some of the best chefs in the world including Thomas Keller, at the French Laundry in Yountville, CA, Jonathan Waxman at Barbuto in NYC, and Bill Pete at Café des Artistes, also in NYC. Throughout his career, Tom has been focused on and committed to providing exquisite dining experiences to all his guests.
Now, Tom and Shanghai Jazz’s team of culinary and hospitality professionals carry on the tradition, driven by a collective passion to bring good people together with world-class live music, great food, and gracious hospitality to create an exceptionally fun dining experience.
