Benny Goodman 's former girl singer sings -
You Make Me Feel So Young
Capitol 272, 03/21/1946
ADDED IN RESPONSE TO NorthBreed1's nice observation:
Back in the pre 50s when the artists or labels could sing and record anybody's original. I believe most of her generic songs were the best in class; or some even far superior. But then, she didn't have to do many of them "first" (ie: And The Angles Sing, which went superbly!).
Overall she obviously had the artistic gift to inspire awe in most anything she found herself singing; any occasion, time, or subject. She surely added a lively and cheerfulness to her renditions of most everything she sang; without being too obvious.
Her tag name "Liltin' Martha Tilton" was right on the mark! In this instance it was a wonderful surprise for me; the way "she lilted and varies her readings of I'm gonna feel the way I do today. "NorthBreed1".
I believe some very gifted more modern vocalists may be lacking a wee-bit of the Liltin' gift. I am sure it also has a lot to do with way the vocalist interprets the meaning of the song and the accepted practices of the period.

1915 - Martha Tilton, aka "The Liltin' Miss Tilton", aka "The Sweetheart Of Swing", songstress and Capitol Records artist (1942-1949) is born Martha Ellen Tilton in Corpus Christi, Texas. Ms. Tilton is the first artist signed to Capitol Records and her first sides "Moon Dreams" and "The Angels Cried", both written and produced by Capitol Records co-founder Johnny Mercer (recorded on April 4, 1942).

Early in her career with the Goodman organization, Martha was singing at the SunnyBrook Ballroom in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. When it came time for Benny to introduce her, he gave her a big buildup: "Here is a pretty gal from Hollywood that's really going places." But Martha missed her cue. When she didn't appear on stage, after a moment Benny ad-libbed, "She's not going places, she's already gone."

Martha's is the best-ever version of this song. Listen particularly to the way she lilts and varies her readings of "I'm gonna feel the way I do today." Sublime.
