Maybe, but nobody mentions Mabel Mercer - with Bobby Short on piano - who may have nailed it: at 70-something when she recorded it, her world-weary voice mixing reminiscence, regret, and fond memories. I love Nat singing just about anything but to hear Mercer say the words "the Ile de France with all the gulls around it" is to be transported to a different plane. Check it out.
Nat King Cole is one of my most favorite singers of all time, his voice relaxes me and takes me into another world, and he passed it on to his lovely daughter Natalie, the two are one of a kind. Rare gems from the heavens sent to the earth to make us become aware that Heaven and God is real.
U R right, Nat is GREAT! I urge you to find Dinah Washington's version. You may change your mind. Makes me weak in the knees every time I hear it. Unbelievable! To me, that is the definitive version! Good listening!
How a human heart would explain this beautiful amorous voice, SIEMPRE
