My favorite version is the Dusty Springfield version!!! Diana Krall's version is also good, but Dusty's is the definitive one for me...so sexy! :-)

The Sergio Mendes / Brasil 66 version is also a good one - look it up. They do some clever 1/2 step modulations after the first phrase. Geek stuff....

So - why did I record a NEW version? Here goes....

I arranged the old version with the capo at the 4th fret, so I could play in the original key - C# minor (as if it were in A minor).

However ,I always felt that the melody of the first arrangement sounded very "choked." It was a fight to play rather than a joy... it just didn't sing or roar enough.

I just HAD to go back to the drawing board and come up with something I felt good about.
This new version sings

I hope you enjoy this NEW version. Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think!

Love,

Adam
