This is unusual because it doesn't really sound like a Marty Paich arrangement. Torme recorded another Donald Fagan song, "Walk between the Raindrops" and this sounds veryl Marty Paich! You'll find it on YouTube.

Wow!!
" I know a fellow with a motor boat for hire
A skinny man with two tone shoes"
I get goose bumps when I hear this song and thanks for finding Mel's superb rendition.
In 1953 I almost went to Cuba but at the last instant intuitively changed to Puerto Rico and have been here ever since.
I wonder what the alternate reality was.

@hankfischer5251 WOW, MAN. That is too cool ... *Respect !



This song is tense, upbeat, drenched in vivid and intriguing lyrics. Mel's voice is as sassy, sparkling and variegated as the casino and the sea it is by. I listened to it 6 or 7 times in a row one day and then came back to listen to it repeatedly a few hours later.
