This song is from my favorite musicals, Guys and Dolls. Blossom Dearie's version of this song is, in my opinion, the best. It's because of her voice. She's a musical marvel.

from Once Upon a Summertime, available on CD (Polygram Records)

Other Versions: Isabel Bigley from the Guys and Dolls broadway cast recording (1950); Jean Simmons from the Guys and Dolls movie soundtrack (1955)
