I used Eric Clapton's backing Track to check off another of the two hundred top hits of the 50's and 60's.  Popularized in 1955 by Roger Williams it reached number 4 on the charts  ... I think it is said to be  the only piano piece to make it that high up on the scale of hit tunes.  After listening to a great rendition by some gal whose name I failed to jot down,  I think I may try it again with a little more emotion pumped in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s24NpIu3-g

A very interesting interpretation to be sure.
There was a point in the song, about half way through the first verse, that I just closed my eyes and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done.

You left me a very welcomed comment.  Thanks very much!  Looking at the image used in your profile photo I'd have to guess you are a pianist. Can you do the Roger Williams version, record it and post it for us? I wonder how that would sound with a vocal overdub! Thanks again!

It's certainly a very familiar tune for a pianist, but I must admit I'll have to hunt up that version. See what I can do.
