Tom, you're in for a treat. Look up the song ubder the Nevil Brothers (60s - YOUR era)or you can find a version by Annie & Nancy Wilson (Heart)from the 70s as well. Both capture the romance and passion that the lyric puts out. It's a heart wrenching, yet simple melody with a great opportunity to harmonize the hook. You'll love it.

I'm with you on THAT one. Karen is second in my list only to Ella. Ella is the quintiscential singer for me.Flawless technique, tastful phrasing and beautiful tone. What a loss for both of them.
My "desert Island" CD collection HAS to have:
Les Miz - soundtrack
Carpenters - Christmas album
Ella's Harold Arlen collection
I can eat cocanuts and get by with all the other misfortune if I can have those tunes !
