Please give a listen and comment to this big band treatment of a grand old tune.

For a song that always felt like a desperate plea this beginning seems too upbeat. Maybe a sadder key and tempo change downward.

The plea ends on a note of hope and perhaps this is where it becomes happier.

Thanks Bob. Hadn't heard this song in years. Sammy's version is one of my favorite versions.

Ahhhh. There you are.  Excellent phrasing.

A Guitar feature with a slick alto solo in the second chorus.  For your study and comment.
