Apparently Judy Garland sang this in 1957 and then Nina Simone recorded it. Here I've opted for the version sung by Tom Hobson, with guitar accompaniment by Jorma Kaukonen. You know how I love Jorma's playing. As for Hobson, it took me a few listens before I appreciated his voice but he really grew on me. But the great thing here is the languorous, bluesy, finger-plucking guitar in this song. Give a listen.
