Merci, mon ami, for sharing this Cole Porter classic with me! Joni's voice, Porter's songwriting talents & that lush orchestration certainly make for a MONUMENTAL musical momento! THANKS again...and also THANKS to catman for posting it for us to enjoy! :-)

The orchestration is by David Terry, whose arranging genius is in full evidence throughout the album "Joni James Sings in the Still of the Night." Joni still has the orchestrations and perhaps one day if we are all lucky she will include this song in her concert repertoire. The vocal here is simply mesmerizing and the strange ending is not a mistake; it's exactly what Joni intended to sing.
