Generally known as “I Ain’t Got Nobody (And Nobody Cares For Me),” it was only on this very first recorded version of the standard that the title was (for some reason) shown on the label as “I Ain’t Got Nobody Much.” Recording star Harris later made different versions of the song for both the Columbia (1920) and Brunswick (1922) labels.

The original 78rpm single was issued on Victor 18133 - I Ain’t Got Nobody Much (Roger Graham-Spencer Williams) by Marion Harris, orchestra conducted by Rosario Bourdon, recorded August 9, 1916
