And an uncommonly and unexpectedly good version that rivals that of
Artie Shaw; if you think you've already heard all of the best or
superior versions of this (e.g., Shaw, Cole, etc.) , think again:

This is also one, that cannot be found by merely examing sales chart
surveys in a book like Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories. The trumpet
playing of bandleader Spivak is something to behold, and the
arrangement of this song is genius, and execution by the band is top
flight. For some critics, this is THE version, although more than 9
out of 10 big band fans may never have heard it.
But the buffs and big band hipsters do know about it.
