Ain't Nobody's Business

"Ain't Nobody's Business" (originally "Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do") is a 1920s blues song that became one of the first blues standards.〔
〕 It was published in 1922 by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins.〔 The song features a lyrical theme of freedom of choice and a vaudeville jazz-style musical arrangement.〔
〕 As "'Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do", it was first recorded in 1922 by Anna Meyers with the Original Memphis Five.〔

Recordings by other classic female blues singers, including Sara Martin, Alberta Hunter, and Bessie Smith soon followed.〔〔 In 1947, the song was revived by jump blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon as "Ain't Nobody's Business".〔
〕 It became the biggest selling race record of 1949〔
〕 and inspired numerous adaptations of the song.〔 In 2011, Witherspoon's rendition was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame as a "Classic of Blues Recording".〔
==Composition and lyrics==

The early versions of "Ain't Nobody's Business" feature vocals with piano and sometimes horn accompaniment. They are performed as moderate tempo blues and have an extended sixteen-bar introduction:〔
:There ain't nothin' I can do nor nothin' I can say, that folks don't criticize me
:But I'm gonna do just as I want to anyway, I don't care if they all depise me
The remaining verses are eight-bars in length, with the first four providing a situation, such as "If I go to church on Sunday, then cabaret on Monday", and the last four concluding with the refrain "Tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do".〔
The formal layout with its introduction and eight-bar verses is redolent of the thirty-two bar American Popular Song Form, albeit it lacks the typical bridge. Actually a bridge was added by The Ink Spots in their 1936 recording of the song. The eight-bar chord scheme of ''Ain't Nobody's Business'' was a model for subsequent 'bluesy' Tin Pan Alley songs and R&B ballads in AABA form. 〔Appen, Ralf von / Frei-Hauenschild, Markus ("AABA, Refrain, Chorus, Bridge, Prechorus — Song Forms and their Historical Development" ). In: ''Samples. Online Publikationen der Gesellschaft für Popularmusikforschung/German Society for Popular Music Studies e.V.'' Ed. by Ralf von Appen, André Doehring and Thomas Phleps. Vol. 13 (2015), p. 32-33.〕
The music and lyrics are usually credited to two pianists – Porter Grainger, who had been Bessie Smith's accompanist from 1924 to 1928, and Everett Robbins, who had his own bands and worked briefly with Mamie Smith.〔〔〔〔 However, sometimes
Clarence Williams, who played piano on Bessie Smith's recording, is listed as a co-author of the song.〔
BMI, the performing rights organization, lists Grainger, Williams, Witherspoon, and Robert Prince.〔
〕 Since the original lyrics were copyrighted in 1922, they are now in the public domain.〔
