Judy Garland recorded the song for her 1962 album The Garland Touch,[2] while Caterina Valente recorded the song as the title track of her 1964 album. The song opens the 1987 Liza Minnelli live album At Carnegie Hall.[3] A 1973 recording by Bobby Short from the album Live at the Café Carlyle[4] was used in the 1993 film Manhattan Murder Mystery.[5]
