Notable versions

An extraordinary performance <1> of this classic was made
by jazz singer Anita O'Day at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958,
filmed by Bert Stern in his documentary Jazz on a Summer's Day (1959).
The way she managed the music and the lyrics of this song (and of Tea for Two)
made her famous all over the world.

All this time I thought Anita O'Day was black. That's just way too much hep cat jive for a white woman.
