You can tell that the song was recorded during the "Cold War" (tm).
They changed the line "than any Russian play can guarantee" to "than any Broadway play can guarantee".
Pathetic really. If it was good enough for Ira Gershwin the old way, it's good enough for me.

Chet is the BEST. Can't top that buttery voice & phrasing.
-
Chet sings a jazz inflected line much as Mr. Sinatra does, and Doris of course. Mr. Connick can effect that sweet woodwind or muted trumpet.

Singers like Doris Day and Blossom Dearie show how little it takes to sing a song well.

@minpinned And to me .. thats what a lot of artists today miss. Doris sang the song .. as it was written .. simply and beautifully. Showing her beautiful voice and the beauty of the song. What more can you ask for. Thank you .. so happy you enjoyed !

To say that Doris Day is a great singer would be an understatement. Like all talented people she means every word, her phrasing is impeccable, and you've got the impression that she sings for you alone. I like her a lot. Check out Ella Fitzgerald in the same number. She's great too. Chet Baker has always been one of my favorites. Many thanks for posting this wonderful song and Doris, of course.

@ForEverGilda Yes - she's really great at interpreting a song - as Ella is. Very talented ladies. Thank you ... so happy you enjoyed.
