That there was a new manifestation of the classic "'Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do" (also known as "Ain't Nobody's Business").  Written by piano players Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins, the song was first published and recorded in 1922. The song was, and still is, a definitive anthem of personal freedom, defiance, and rejection of social judgment. 
The song has been recorded by dozens of legendary artists, perhaps most famously by Bessie Smith, recorded in 1923, as well as Billie Holiday's soulful 1949 rendition. Jimmy Witherspoon's topped the charts in 1949 with his version which was later inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame. Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Diana Ross, and Cher have all performed it and now you've just heard Public Domain Radio's created cover of it, just like we covered this one up next.

Weather I go to church on Sunday, 'T'aint nobody's business if I do, if I do! Or Give my friend all of my money, 'T'aint nobody's business if I do, if I do!
