Add another vote for Patti. I really enjoyed her version of the song. It's one of the reasons I bought the cd.

I didn't have a chance to post a link while I was at work but here's the album info for The Musicality of Rodgers and Hart. If you click on "emusic" you can get a short clip.

Ella. The full version on the R&H songbook. #2 would be the 3 minute "Single edit" that turns up on compilations. Third would be any other.
What a perfect song:
"Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Because the laugh's on me"

Ella in any version.
On stage, I also really enjoyed Samuel Barnett's version in The History Boys.

I don't know who was singing it, but the version that played at my chiropractor's office yesterday completely erased the horrible taste that the current version being foisted upon poor hapless theatre-goers on Broadway left in my mouth. I know it wasn't Patti...I'd recognize that voice. But it was great.

Reg - I had to watch the movie again last night. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something so warm and genuine about that film that fills me with joy. Despite popular opinion, I find it to be Woody Allen's masterpiece.

Linda Ronstadt's version is really very good. This live version (while not mine) that I came across is fantastic:

It's so much fun watching all these different versions. My vote goes to Barbra. If you watch her expressions, she goes through every emotion known to humankind in that one song. Yet, listening to just the vocals, I don't feel it's over the top, just achingly beautiful. Also, really like the simplicity of Ella's. Such a great song that can be interpreted in so many different ways.

Why do I have a feeling that if someone started a thread with the question "Who should win this year's Nobel Prize for Physics", Patti LuPone would come away with the clear win?

Doris Day...
Am I going to get shot for saying this?
It's a really beautiful rendition.
You can check it out on YouTube.

Not at all. Doris Day was a beautiful song stylist, before her cutesy screen persona emerged.

I agree. I love Doris' voice.

I'd forgotten about Day's cover of the song. I believe I may have it on cassette tape - somewhere.

Barbra singing it on the Judy Garland Show, in case it wasn't posted before.
