The people who are speaking of intonation DO NOT know what they are talking about. THESE "VOCAL ARTISTS" are in PERFECT tone. As with some (if not most) jazz, modern and past, have registers that contain delicate and purposeful, close-"noted" riffs - which gives US (the listener) an aural enjoyment that is filled with such dynamism and elegant complexities - enough of which, stirs the very soul that makes grown men cry !! THIS IS MUSIC, my friends. IN PERFECT and PURPOSEFUL PITCH !

@ssummersify I like this song specifically because of the "out-of-tune" parts, which of course are actually precisely in tune. That's what makes the song so nice to hear. And yes, it's very difficult to sing, so I have to admire the Manhattan Transfer for managing it so well. They must all have perfect pitch or something.

There is no better version of this song than this..

@SannitaSSJ I just had the incredibly strange experience of someone telling me face to face (someone with a great voice who's supposed to be a trained opera vocalist) that she didn't like it. From that moment forward, I basically quit trusting her taste in music as a whole...LOL! I'll never understand how someone can hear this and not think it worthy of unadulterated praise.

@therealzilch although take 6 is personally a lot harder >.<

In my opinion, Mel Torme and Nat King Cole set the standard for this song. But this is my favorite rendition by far. It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks for posting it.

WTF are people talking about with the whole "out of tune" crap. I am an avid jazz listener and am amazed at some of the responses from people. This song is a classic and 'MT is the best at singing it. The intonations and chords suspensions, to the un-trained ear can't tell the difference in the intentional and or unintentional. For the last time.... THE CHORDS ARE SUPPOSED TO SOUND JUST AS THEY ARE SINGING THEM PEOPLE.

I'd be curious to know how many of the armchair critics of the intonation here have ever sung this piece. I have, and I can tell you, it's not easy, and MT have done a great job here.
