This is by far the best version. Who's on percussions, cause they're killin it...

[mariapiacentini]

I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon in your eyes

You and you glance make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazing their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle

You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes

Just when I think
I'm free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love

[andreatouhig]

those drums..❤❤❤, butterflies inside..

[frednolasco]

[moujet]

In my opinion the best version ever,
I am lucky to possessed an EX original copy of this LP ^^

[Rightonbefree]

oh man I love that piano it’s so good

Brian, if you want that turtleneck, you'd better go back to the 50s. Wonderful group, and what a drummer Philly Joe Jones was!

Octoberfest in Michigan City Indiana...I think it was in August for some reason...1993 or there abouts...A black woman was in the tent  on stage and sang this and ROCKED IT like no other. I don't know if it was one of the Steel sisters, maybe they are too young for the era...but I wish I knew who she was. Anyway, I feel lucky to have been there so close and meet her, she was so cool.

Chet Baker here - is reminiscent of "The Velvet Fog, " Mel Torme. I have never heard Chet Baker sing before - very nice! Love these classics.

[joemps]

This could fit so nicely in the soundtrack of a Bayonetta game

[zackaryscott]

Don't bug me man I'm on a magic carpet ride.

[BmHabib]

anyone got a source on where to get a turtle neck like that?

[JoshTheMusicDude]

Listen to the track "Asia Minor by Machito and his Afro Cuban Orchestra" and then listen to this again ;)

[manguera]

i like this version, the notes are hitting the melody in the right spot where the chord changes are, and is very understandable, i dont mean the other versions are not understandable, the other singers improvise too much in the melody and in the chord changes

[bvbasketball]

I don't think it's a turtle neck, more like a blanket neck. I think that's why she's laughing.

Severance brought me here. (Well, today anyway.)

Dinah Washington criticized that song sang by Chet. Her words were near evil, maybe she didn't like Chet Baker.
But now, every body like that.
