This particular tune with these particular artists is the pinnacle of music performance and perfection.

The voice, the piano, the saxophone, the lyrics. A masterpiece. This song sounds like you're in a dim-lit bar in Paris, with the rain outside

[mattgray]

My most favorite recording of all time.

Thanks for sharing that story about Johnny H and his early Chicago days. What musicians! I was honored to meet him briefly in the early 80’s in NYC. I cherish the memory.

Beautiful. This song is a masterpiece and the album too. At 25 years old, I wish there were more songs like this that'd be mainstream

[rickmahoney]

Ive been listening to this song for years.

[hezigler]

Billy Starhorn coposed the melody when he he was 19 years old. Lyrics came in 1949 after he'd been with Duke Ellington for seven years.
