One of the first recordings of the standard "That's My Weakness Now" (Bud Green - Sam Sept) came from Billy Jones and Ernest Hare in 1928. This was the first hit for the writing team that also gave us "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone". Billy Jones and Ernest Hare earned over one thousand dollars a week on radio making them the highest paid singers in that medium.

The most successful version of "That's My Weakness Now" was recorded in the same year by Helen Kane (Schroeder). Wikipedia: "Kane's first performance at the Paramount Theater in Times Square proved to be her career's launching point. She was singing "That's My Weakness Now", when she interpolated the scat lyrics "boop-boop-a-doop". This resonated with the flapper culture, and four days later, Helen Kane's name went up in lights." The single peaked at number five on the charts of the day. Helen Kane was the inspiration for the cartoon character Betty Boop.
