Kottler's website (justjazz.com) has a number of excellent examples of how to re-harmonize pop standards such as this one, and equally good tutorial information on jazz theory. I wish he would make the re-harmonizations easier to find -- and site information talks about that goal -- but it hasn't happened yet that I know of. Still, it's worth the search to find them.

Individual transcriptions are inspired by and and based upon the recorded versions cited, but are not necessarily exact replications of those recorded versions.
