Short story:

Al Bowlly, accompanied by Ray Noble And His Orchestra, records the first version of the Jimmy Kennedy composition Red Sails In The Sunset in London, UK. It will go on to become a very popular standard. The 2006 song Beyond The Horizon, which appears on Bob Dylan's album Modern Times, has a melody clearly inspired by Red Sails In The Sunset and lyrics which echo the same themes as Jimmy Kennedy's classic.
