  It seems like every version of this is here, except the one that most counts, the definitve version by Mindy Carson (not her remake of it in later years either) for RCA in 1950. THAT one is definitely worth seeking out. If you love any of these other versions, like this one, you'll FAINT when...

  @Rem052 If I have my facts, correct, though I don't know Japanese, when Kyu Sakamoto's single was originally released in Japan in 1961, it had a title "Ue O Muite Arakou", or in English, "I Look Up When I Walk". The song has nothing to do with food, but it is the lament of a man abandoned by lo...

  @ellinida010 Right on! Those 3 at the table...so disinterested is their reaction to such a beautiful song. Fidgeting in the seats, twiddling thumbs, yawning....as if they are so bored and going through perfunctory motions to appear interested, which they act (sic) like they are not.....oh my.

@bigcity233 This is good...but the version you should hear sometime is that of the studio (not live, not an air-check, either) version by Jimmy Dorsey on Decca, which puts Glenn Miller's to shame as well. That is, if you can find the damn thing, which has slipped the the cracks of the overlooki...

  @sherhino You should also (go to the trouble) of checking out Marinella (1941) also by Shaw, and the lovely jazz of both Shaw's arrangement of "Tabu" and "Lady Day". If you find any or better yet, all 3 of those, you won't regret the use of your time to track them down.

  It's a straight big band popular record, but I disagree as to its being an "original" that spawned others. In fact I think it DERIVED or quite possibly was at least inspired by the success by Tommy Dorsey, Sy Oliver & Jo Stafford's "Yes Indeed!" from 1941, more likely the originator & inspirati...
