Very rare song. 10/10***

And i would assume that, like all the Villa Pace recordings, she's also accompanying herself. Absolutely amazing!!

[Tenortalker]

Amazing how good her voice was in retirement when this was recorded. She was such a great artist , phrasing , vocal colour, diction it is all there.

This is like listening to God. There can be no greater voice than Ponselle's. As with Caruso, there is Ponselle, then everyone else -- and having just listened to my own state's Elanor Steber sing this, I can say she sang wonderfully; it's just there's NO voice like Ponselle's.

This is incredibly sung

Cole Porter was a God of composition of "simple" songs - I adore evrything he ever wrote. Incredibly moving music, beautiful and personal. He and Harold Arlen are the two greatest american composers (Stephen Sondheim too :p)
