Etta Moten is featured after Blondell introduces the song. Busby Berkeley as quoted in Matthew Kennedy's "Joan Blondell: A Life Between Takes": "I did something extraordinary in that number, too, when I had Joan Blondell sing the song because Joan Blondell can't sing. But I knew she could act it. I knew she could 'talk it' and put over the drama for me." But I've corrected the post's title. Thanks for pointing out Etta Moten's contribution to the song.
