    I prefer the instrumental version. The lyrics are kinda cheesy.

      They sure are. But to me watching the Trio is always a treat. I’m a big fan of Nat Cole’s particular period. The reason I haven’t posted much of it is that people don’t seem to find it particularly interesting.
      I agree of course about Blue Mitchel’s version been more mean business.
