.....of a cover of this wonderful song that was done in the past 20 (or 30) years by a contemporary singer? Or was it possibly used in another R&H project or an old MGM film? When I first heard the Matthews original this year in this clip it drove me crazy wondering where I'd first heard the song. I've searched online but never found an answer. TIA!

This version by Frank Sinatra, from his 1955 album In the Wee Small Hours, is the one I grew up with. For me, it's the version, and no one else's comes close.

This is the 2nd time I heard this song, after Matthews.

Thanks everyone for linking them. I also remembered that Barbra Streisand sang just a snippet from the song in her great version of "Down With Love" on her second album (and If I were cleverer, I'd post a link ;) )

Dawn Upshaw has a charming album of Rodgers and Hart and covers it ( as do The Supremes and Sandy Stewart, among others).

Oh goodness! I think it's The Supremes version I must have had lodged in the recesses of my brain. Thanks so much for the nudge, Billhaven.
