Description:
This Gordon Jenkins composition is best known for being Benny Goodman's closing theme. The vocal version that we offer here has been lovingly transcribed by Jon Harpin from June Christy's 'Big Band Specials' album, recorded in 1962. The original arrangement was by Bill Holman, and our chart is faithful to the original concept. This chart is equally suitable for a concert setting or as a late-night ballad on a gig. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is Bb throughout.
