This song was originally featured in the 1937 musical comedy, “I’d Rather Be Right” by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart 1937, but was a commonly covered jazz standard throughout the swinging 1950’s and 1960’s. True, Ella and Ol’ Blue Eyes both covered the song to great applause, but I like these two instrumental versions much much better. One is by The Oscar Peterson Trio from their 1964 album We Get Requests from Verve, the other is George Shearing from his 1980 studio album On A Clear Day (though it may also exist on earlier recordings, my research hit a wall there). Enjoy!
