the best rendition

Great version, probably the best, although The Beatles did a great job of this one themselves.Their guitar arrangement was light years ahead of it's time.

soothing to say the least.....

It was recorded before1960. I have my original LP of the album Latin ala Lee which I bought before I went into the military in 1960/

@Metusaleh Totally agree. I watched Il divo in Barcelona last night; I asked my wife does she consider them to be a cover/ karaoke group, as they sing all the usual standards? she agreed with me and said that if this was the case, Frank Sinatra would have to a karaoke singer.

@Teotihuacan112 I read on Wikipedia (I don't know how reliable the article was) that Peggy used to babysit the McCartney boys. If so, I think that is super cool :)

@Teotihuacan112 Barbara Cook is the original artist having introduced the song in "The Music Man" in 1957. All other versions are covers.

This is dedicated to my darling Charlie whom I love so very much
The word "cover" does not apply to the Great American Songbook's standards, such as this one. Peggy's version was loved so much by Paul McCartney that The Beatles recorded their own version after they heard hers.

Dodo251 don´t be idiot, Of course the songwriter is Meredith Willson in 1959 it was recorded by Anita Bryant, and in 1961 it was recorded by Peggy Lee, for that reason the two previous versions are more originals than the beatles, in fact Peggy lee is one strong influence inside the beatles. A fact, And for that reason I wrote in the title of this play list "ORIGINALS SONGS, OR MORE ORIGINALS ONES. OTHERS ONLY COVERED THEM"
