I'll be reducing this series to once or twice per week - Always on Wednesdays - Occasionally on Sundays...

Isn’t today Saturday? 😂 😂 😂

Pat Boone has a lovely voice, but he seems off key to me in some instances. Boring, too.

Patsy Cline‘s version is too dragged out, she does makes a mini-drama of this, mournful.

No Bing for me.

Bobby Darrin’s peppy version is wrong for this song, like he don’t care!

I love Ella! But isn’t this a hopeful song? She sounds sad. But what a smooth voice.

At first I thought Patinkin was a woman; he was singing in head voice. His rendition is the most apt for the mood of the song. The tempo is perfect. He moves me, despite the weird tremulous voice. It’s the only version I heard complete.

This was when Della Reese could still sing without the low wobble that invaded her voice. I like the tempo on her version, too. She reminded me of Eartha Kitt with that diction. Della for #2.

You don’t swing to these words. No thanks, Frank.

I posted on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday this week - "Family leave" has ended - All is well, thankfully - and it's back to work on Monday.

I shall miss you, Shaughn!

As always, MAS, very insightful take on the tunes that is greatly appreciated - I had no idea how the Patinkin tune would be received - Glad to see that I should always trust my judgement - Thanks for affirming that - Cheers!

I will still be here - Just not quite as often...

Just couldn’t not do my best with all the trouble you take on these contests.
