'Small Day Tomorrow' Accompanying a jazz vocalist

Vocalist Michelle Benjamin sings 'Small Day Tomorrow' by Bob Dorough - another not-often-played-tune. I co-recorded a midi file as the video was shot.
The very simple accompaniment was improvised from the leadsheet (in the same key as the video) in Sher Music's 'New Real Book' Volume 1, page 323.
After completion,as I listened to the midi file playing in the well known 'Band-in-a-Box'program, as an imported midi file, and displayed it as a piano playing in the piano view. This I filmed, and added it to the original, then using Windows Movie Maker, added comments and chord symbols.

Janis Siegel did do a version of this--it's great! Also--yes--Bob Dorough wrote the music for this and Landesman did the lyric. One of my fave songs of all time!

Didn't Janis Siegel record this song as well...?

I may be wrong but I was under the impression that this song was a Fran Landesman tune. I know Bob Dorough performed it but did he compose the music?
