Many years ago, after we got a buzz, my roommates wanted to play a new CD they just bought, this was the first track and it totally melted my brain😶‍🌫. Her incomparable voice, this tempo with Nelson Riddle at the helm, I had reached Nirvana. And I still do every time I listen to it. Thank You!

From Ella's voice to Nelson Riddle's arrangement, this is so beautiful, delicate and heavenly!
