This song is 60 years old. It was written in 1947 by Edin Ahbez, and has since been sung
some 50 famed singers, including Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, John Lequizamo (for the
Moulin Rouge!) and Leonard Nimoy. It has been played by many instruments, but listening
a radio I overheard an unnamed musician playing this on the acoustic guitar. The song
from 1951.
I tabbed it out and here it is, as my band plays it, with little difference from the
version.
