There's a lot of great versions of this number - I first heard it by Eydie Gormé but there's also recordings by Julie London, Janis Siegel - an amazing live one by Nancy Wilson - even Twiggy got in the act! However, Carmen McRae's take is, for me, the number one. Love to hear some of our contemporary croonbirds do it...

Quite, quite superb....but...I still prefer Eydié's version, she sounded vulnerable just as a woman would having seen that...thank you for reminding us of this great number..one of my all time faves

Eydie's version knocked me out when I first heard it - particularly as it was the first time I'd heard the song. I agree she sounds so vulnerable whereas Carmen takes a more feisty approach.
At the end of the day in Eydie's case she'd be crying - with Carmen I think it would be hubby who was crying - through broken teeth!
