All three of these are terrific but my vote goes to: LINDA RONSTADT.

I’m going with Ella. She’s great.

I’m going to have to agree with Grant on this one. Linda’s voice so pure, and the emotion feels right. Thanks for this post - it makes me want to see the show again!!!

Liz–I assume you meant you agreed with me.

Oops! I guess I was trying to agree with everyone ;~) But yes, Bill, I agree with you.

I really like Linda’s rendition but how can you beat Ella Fitzgerald’s voice …

Not crazy about the beginning but I like Lena’s the best.

I actually wasn’t crazy about the song, probably since I haven’t seen the show and have no sentimental attachment to it, and because it sure rambles on, but by the 3rd playing I was liking it a lot better and therefore vote for Linda!
