Greatest pure jazz singer ever, felt the songs like he wrote them, like he was the song. Wonderful version, and George Shearing may have been blind, but he had the best musical eyes possible. Superb live performance. The creme de la creme.
This is probably the most beautiful song ever written. Mel Torm´e is the only person to sing this song. It is sad he is gone. This was a song that my first love and I shared. Thank you Mr. Torm´e.
thank you for this deeply appreciated post. Had the good fortune to watch them sing this twice in the mid 1980s. Memory has never left me and i constantly listen to their recordings 30 plus years on.
Such effortless artistry. Sorry I never got to see him live but his recordings are constantly near my CD player if not playing. Breath control beyond most singers capabilities but I strive to be a fraction as good as him.

Mel and George , a perfect combination.

Any song that Mel sang it automatically become his own! His interpretation of this sing with the piano of George Shearing is hard to top!
