totally devastating performance of this song... Chet was an old man when he sung this, with his front teeth missing, and it makes it sound even better...
Chet Baker was indeed a master, but did not write this song. It was written by the great Oscar Levant. The pianist on this recording is Frank Strazzeri, if memory serves.
One of the very best. Truly a great song & very Levantian.

This is my fav version of the song.
Oscar Levant music, lyrics by Edward Heyman who also wrote Body & Soul and When I Fall In Love.

I've heard the Jamie Cullum version of this song before, didn't know it was Chet Bakers. Awesome.

@Reaper679 It's actually an Oscar Levant standard from the 1930s.

The very definition of melancholy. Best listened to under dim lights and a smokey cognac haze. I love this song.
