"Rockin' Chair is a 1929 popular song with lyrics and music composed by Hoagy Carmichael. Musically it is unconventional, as after the B section when most popular songs return to A, this song has an A-B-C-A1 structure. Carmichael recorded the song in 1929, 1930, and 1956. Mildred Bailey made it famous by using it as her theme song. Like other 1920s standards, "Rockin' Chair" relied on the stereotypes of minstrelsy, citing "Aunt Harriet" from the anti-Uncle Tom song "Aunt Harriet Becha Stowe" (1853).
"That Ain't Right" was the 1942 debut single by The King Cole Trio. "That Ain't Right" hit number one on Billboard magazine's Harlem Hit Parade chart for one week. Although the song was the King Cole Trio's first successful single, it would be their only release for Decca, as the contract with the company expired before "That Ain't Right" became a hit.
