The worst part of this song is at 2:37

[clouya]

what a voice!!!!!!!!

[Sshelly34213]

@strictlycomments Lol oh I would never say that and I'm sure depreciating Harry would concur. But yea his is pretty fantastic after the masters (Frank and Nat) of course.

Yes it is indeed, I am of the female persuasion.

@Sshelly34213 Nilsson Schmilsson, nobody can put em' over like Frank! Ha ha ha! Shelly huh? That's my ladies name...

[Sshelly34213]

It seems that everyone wants to belt it at "Let the music play as long as there's a song to sing"

[Sshelly34213]

@strictlycomments Harry Nilsson does a really phenomenal version of this as well.

[PeteCannellasSound]

The greatest

@sonofakbar No, I think both of them sing it differently, each in their own unique style.

[Woodwindtimestwo]

I have just found out that Gordon Jenkins is in fact American, Sorry for this, i had taken it for granted that he must be a brit because of the pronouncing of the leisure/pleasure phrases.

Francis you still got it right. Unlike myself

[Woodwindtimestwo]

To talk about the point, more thought out, if you listen to nats version he pronounces leisure, in the american venacular, and that clashes with the following phrase, that includes pleasure. The music and lyrics were written by an english composer, and francis albert, as allways takes the correct line.

For retrorockerryan2

I was curious to see where the 2.37 point was and had to laugh and completely agree, also think , more sensitive and thought out { as with most of his work } than Nats version.

NAT KING COLE RENDERS THIS SONG FAR SUPERIOR TO SINATRA
