I don't know how you find these gems Lance, this is a lovely number and it is years since I last heard it...you sure know a good thing when it comes along. DD was who every girl wanted to be in the 50's, me included, and I'm sure I foxtroted to this song in that era.. ahhh!

Shame we never went to the same dances!
I know! but we are still appreciating this wonderful music over half a century later, and I meant to say that background harmony so set the mood,all the numbers seemed to have them in those days

just listened to Mel's version ..swoon swoon! interesting Beguine rhythm...OMG if only I could have seen him live, I think I would have felt I had died & gone to Heaven...I noticed in the shots of him whilst it was playing that he developed fuller hair in his later years...so I guess it was a toupée..with that voice he could get away with murder never mind a rug..
Old Blue Eyes and the Old Groaner both had "Enhanced" hair so why should the Velvet Fog be any different?
As you know I did see Tormé with Shearing and Carmen McRae at the RFH and it was a truly magical evening. You, I know, also saw Sinatra at Albert Hall so between us we have seen the best!
