Deed I Do is a 1926 jazz standard composed by Fred Rose with lyrics by Walter Hirsch. It was introduced by vaudeville performer S. L. Stambaugh and popularized by Ben Bernie's recording. It was also recorded in that year by bandleader Ben Pollock, whose band included a very young Benny Goodman, making his recording debut. Ruth Etting's rendition of the song became a top ten hit in 1927. After spending time in Chicago, New York City and Hollywood, Fred Rose moved in 1942 to Nashville, and had an extremely successful career in Country music.
