Doc Daugherty and Ellis Reynolds composed the music for "I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)," often shortened to "Confessin'," which became a jazz and popular standard. Written in 1930 with lyrics by Al J. Neiburg, the song was first recorded by Louis Armstrong in a highly influential version. The composition has been covered extensively by artists including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra.
