Words by Sam M.
Lewis.
Real deal a
cappella jazz writing
with great attention paid
to phrasing, dynamics,
expressive rhythms that
sound unmetered, and
bringing the emotional
words to life. Be
prepared to put in the
time and feel the
satisfaction of singing a
lush and lovely ballad.
The song has been
recorded by a host of
artists including Billie
Holiday, Doris Day,
Aretha Franklin, and
Bette Midler, but Kirby's
arrangement is inspired
by soul artist Donny
Hathaway's
heart-wrenching
performance.
