There have been almost as many reviews written about this song as Jazz singers and instrumentalists who have recorded it! But the Frank Sinatra pressing in March 1959 with the Gordon Jenkins Orchestra, repeated several times in his Caesar's Palace gigs, remains the standard. It is said that Van Heusen never wrote a bad lyric and Sinatra never sang a bad song, so it follows this was the success it was always going to be.

It is a song which uses the dominant chords (the 7ths) in their many forms and it demonstrates just how important these chords are in Jazz music. Especially in love ballards, into which they bring their beautiful tones and emotions.
