I believe the song should be "Nothin'" not "Nothing". I was able to track down a picture of a
Victor 78 label. —Preceding

Al Hibbler
I'm removing the edit that credits the
obituary for Al Hibbler, which reads, "Ellington wrote Do Nothin' Til You Hear From Me as a special number for Mr. Hibbler, and it became one of the band's hits." This assertion that the song was written for the singer contradicts the statement in the song's article here that says that it "originated as a 1940
instrumental ("Concerto for Cootie") that was designed to highlight the playing of Ellington's lead
trumpeter,
Cootie Williams." The
Jazz Standards.com page for the song currently lists Hibbler as the vocalist for the Ellington rendition, but they credit the same book that I'm looking at, Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories, 1890-1954, which lists the number 10 hit from 1944 with a capital I after the title to indicate that it's an instrumental and catalog number 20-1547. You can see that number on the label of the 78 that's played in
this YouTube clip, which is an instrumental recording.
