I love the fact that Linda Ronstadt can sing all of the oldies as well as her regular stuff, or even better. Thank you for posting!

Linda is amazing on this cut but the REAL standout is Nelson Riddles arrangement. Anybody who thinks he didn't deliver a masterpiece on this whole album has no ear for music. Every track on this record showcases his prowess as a masterclass arranger even more so than LRs ability to sing. Listen to the cut of Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered and you'll see I speak truth.

Carly's version RULES

[swampzoid]

this is very nice but carly simon's version is far more emotional and moving.

[Ben121974]

@swampzoid Agreed! Carly Simon's version is definitely better...in terms of making you feel her pain.

Thanks skateitalian for introducing me to Matt Monro!~ I love this version, too. What a song for real singers!

[suggs59]

Sinatra gives the definite performance of this great lyric

[skateitalian]

Please listen to Matt Monro's version. No one, but no one!, sings it like he does!

[ceb2633]

I've heard Matt Monroe's version and I am happy to admit that Matt is wonderful with everything he sings.

@skateitalian No, it's a woman's song, fits a woman far better.

[CR65]

She sings it well but nobody sings it better than Carly Simon.

[treg1980]

@CR65 I agree. I find this version very boring!! Carly's is the best!

[Ben121974]

@CR65 Agreed! Nobody sings it better than Carly!

A good song stands up well whoever sings it. Speaking of, I do a tremendous version of this song myself. Hoagy must have been a REAL songwriter, you think?

[ceb2633]

Rraderr, I cannot think of a Hoagy Carmichael song that is not perfect. He was the real deal! Thanks for the comment. C.

@Rraderr HAHA!! You are so funny

I was just think how freakin awesome my version of this is too!!!

Yes!

Love you for it

[justintime42000]

Carly Simon does this song very well too!
