Lee" as an early example of the evolution of American popular song and development of the Great American Songbook. Wilder asserts that with this song, "Muir caught the spirit of the new rhythms that had burst out with ragtime...This is a good song in any decade and remarkable for its time, certainly as much so as "Alexander's Ragtime Band." The tune has been used with other words, for example in French "J'Ai Envie De Chanter" (not a translation), for example by Mireille Mathieu.
