Trying to get a couple more solo standard songs under my belt and was reminded of this one during a long drive a few weeks back when Mama Cass popped up in a playlist. Originally written by Fabian Andre, Wilbur Schwandt, and Gus Kahn in 1931 but recorded by literally hundreds of others throughout the years, this song has stood the test of time and is well on its way to a century of jam sessions and sing-a-longs. I grew up most familiar with the Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day, and The Mamas and the Papas versions, but I had a lot of fun checking out all the other recordings while learning this too. Er, not *all* of them, but a good amount.

On the topic of other recordings, the Reina del Cid channel (now Elle & Toni) actually posted this song before back in 2017 as some of you may remember. I did this solo version a la The Mamas and the Papas, but our 2017 one's based more on the Doris Day progression. Learning them both is a fantastic way to see reharmonizations in action during the verses! You can see that one here: https://youtu.be/2toHhMNkbXI?si=rAVYtQC-LlnyIVnX
