102. Thank you! What a unique voice he has.

I'm old enough to have heard that, but was unfamiliar with this artist.
I really enjoyed listening to this. They don't write great romantic songs like that anymore, do they?

ON further edit:
Unverified back story on this: "The great lyricist Johnny Mercer wrote this in the middle of his affair with Judy Garland. She broke it off because she was married, but Johnny never really got over her."
