John Gregory (who also recorded some albums under the pseudonym "Chaquito") with a fantastic arrangement of this Cy Coleman composition. (I could listen to this piece all day :-)) Coleman composed it for the broadway revue "Take Five" in 1957 and soon after Frank Sinatra recorded a vocal version with lyrics written by Carolyn Leigh.
In fact, Sinatra recorded the song 3 times, but each time the arrangement was done by another genius of the music business, Nelson Riddle.
My personal favourite (vocal) is the duet which Sinatra recorded together with Anita Baker in 1993 (Album "Duets"). But .... my "absolute" favourite remains this great orchestral arrangement by John Gregory....Enjoy the musical witchcraft !

  • Gregory was an AMAZING arranger - the playlist I made for him is one of my favorites of the 550 I've created.

    You post simply the BEST music Walter !!! Today someone commented that my channel is a breath of fresh air, but it's music like this that makes it so. Walter - you're a hero in my book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Socratess2007 You posted this 3 weeks after MrMaymac posted David Carroll's version of this. Did you do this on purpose to show him up with his blaaaaand, 1963 Lawrence Welk version? This one blows your doors off! Iassume this was done AFTER 1963, or Mr Carroll would not have embarrassed himself with his lame offering. I'm usually not so critical, but the difference is night & day here. GOAAAALLLLLLLLL for Walter! Miguel Ángel usually does MUCH better than this

  • wonderful!
