Here is a wonderful vocal chart by Lennie on this unforgettable standard. The setting is a ballad, with a rubato section in the middle. Jean Turner performed this for years with the Stan Kenton Band. The chart is written in the key of Eb and could be a feature for male or female vocalist or any other instrument (parts provided). This is very easy for the band to play. A real crowd-pleaser, and a great change-of-pace.
