This is the ""only"" recording of this song. Forget the others.

great song , diana krall did a great version
-
beautiful sinatra mastered this song
-
This is one of Gordon's many masterpieces. Charlie LaVere was a remarkable singer; I know Judy Garland loved his work as well as Sinatra. Gordon had a remarkable ear for great singers for his recordings.

This wasn't recorded in the same year, as anyone knowing of the mkusic strike themn, would've known, it was recorded actually in early 1947, and thus would have been done in 1946. VERY haunting song.

Diana krall and this version are so sad... made me think of past relationships that didn't work.

This was the first recording of this song, coming out in June of 1948.
Many other versions followed ... by the Four Aces, Five Keys, Joni James, Jane Morgan, June Christy and Kay Starr, among others.

Thank you. It has been so very long since I have heard this very song.

LaVere sang in a popular night club one night (open mic) in Los Angeles. As he sang Frank Sinatra walked in and was asked to follow LaVere. He pointed to his throat (as to say he was ill). The person who accompanied him asked why he lied, since he knew he was okay. Sinatra said, are you crazy I can't sing after Charlie. My grandfather was the person with Sinatra. They loved the way LaVere sang.
