@indyandnorbert I do not suppose you have a recording of that Rodgers and Hart documentary which you could share do you? I recorded it, then found that my reception of BBC4 was playing up that night (as sometimes happens) and the recording was ruined. I was furious! If you have it or know where it is obtainable, I would love to hear about it.
Discovered Ron Raines on a Rodgers and Hart documentary on British TV last night, what a super voice, terrific! Ordered some of his cds today, cant wait to get them, wish this concert '' An evening with the Pops'' was available on dvd, think Rebecca Luker is great too, got cds of hers,and for anyone enjoying him, do listen to Brian Stokes Mitchell, fellow American, fabulous voice again, thank you for uploading this video.
This is my favorite song of all, by a mile, and this is one of the best versions that I've ever heard. Besides Ron Raines having a marvelous voice, they wisely kept the original tempo of the song. I hate all the jazz versions. They are so sluggish that you want to give the singer (yes, that includes Ella and even my boy Johnny Mathis, whom I adore) or the band leader a spoonful of Geritol- remember? For tired blood! Anyway, this version is great.
Refreshing. Powerful all that good stuff

I agree...my favourite song by far. So many people have done great work on this theme...instrumentally..probably Art Tatum's version is the best.
