Yes, no greater compliment than this beats Frank’s rendition. Sorry blue-eyes Ms. Clooney gives this the poignancy it truly deserves along with a smooth swing.

That Scott Hamilton's tenor sax is just phenomenal. Wow.

[@selfwitness]

Mrs. Clooney’s and Mr. Bennett’s (with Bill Evans) versions of this song are sublime.

[@pamelaledgerwood2004]

She was the best......so smooth and right on key with every note......Sorry she's gone, but fabulous!!

I love her Concord label records. Beautiful.

From The Road to Rio, This is just the most beautiful song. This is a great rendition don't you think..no fooling around with what is already perfect to begin with. I've been a huge fan of Rosemary since the moment I heard Come ona my house so many years ago.

Такая старая, старая прекрасная мелодия... Спасибо Rosemary Clooney, что позволила нам не забыть мелодии прошедшего времени, которые останутся навсегда... Such an old, old beautiful melody ... Thanks to Rosemary Clooney, which allowed us not to forget the tunes of the past tense that will remain forever ...

Meravigliosa Rosemary Clooney !

[@michaelshanks6932]

I've known this song since I was six (sung then by Danny Thomas, of all people), but I don't know anyone who sings it better than this. Beautiful, indeed.

[@user-en8mx8ug1f]

You should hear Nat King Cole’s rendition.

[@davidwilbur364]

Ah man, sublime.

[@dianefrank537]

The best, the very best.

[@tatiananadel6611]

Супер! Леди Гага с Тони Беннет тоже великолепно исполняют этот хит..

[@scottrobinson2060]

That's Jake Hanna on drums.

[@davidhanrahan717]

Not positive but believe that’s Scott Hamilton on tenor and Dave McKenna on piano…

[@chriswerner6689]

Why no credit for the bass player? Does anyone know who it is?

[@jeffgouge7456]

I think.... that is Bob Maize on bass.... I think the drummer is the one who is not identified....

[@jeffgouge7456]

oh! Silly me.... that's the great Jake Hanna......

[@user-en8mx8ug1f]

The best rendition of this song is performed by Nat King Cole!!
