*Those of you old enough to remember that this song came from the TV series Peter Gunn will recognize the name of Lola Albright, who played cabaret singer Edie Hart. Hearing Diana Krall's version of this reminded me of the song - and the original Mancini instrumental version that I fell in love with is still available if you look for it.
