This is, by far, my favorite version of this song. The singing, the orchestra, the arrangement... just perfect. I can't listen to it without nodding my head and snapping my fingers.
I think the backing gives this song its edge. I think it's very skillfully arranged. The orchestra is full of blaring energy at the start and then when Nat starts singing it sizzles in the background ready to explode again. Great stuff!
best version of this is Blossom Dearie's version
