• "Sugar Blues" is described by The Tin Pan Alley Song Encyclopedia as "a lowdown blues number" with lyrics by Lucy Fletcher and music by Clarence Williams dating from 1932. It was recorded by trumpeter Clyde McCoy no less than four times, in 1936 initially, and most successfully in 1946, and featured in the 1959 Marilyn Monroe comedy Some Like It Hot.
• The title was used for a 1975 book which contains some remarkable claims about the harmful effects of sugar. As author Wiliam Duffy ghost wrote the autobiography of Billie Holiday, there can be no doubt it was chosen with malice aforethought.
• The song is not to be confused with the Thin Lizzy song of the same name. >>>
