   runobodyii says One of my all-time favorite standards. Top honors going to Chet Baker's version with Sassy's a close second. Who in Sam Hill is Dakota Staton? - - have you told us that?

   musikfriend says runobodyii: Dakota Staton was an upcoming jazz artist in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Her career was rubbed out due to the fact that rock 'n roll was starting to edge out everybody and by the middle 1960's, Staton's style of singing and the intelligence she put into her work was no longer appreciated. She did, however, keep out there, becoming a cult figure among musicians. In fact she kept working and had just completed her last record before passing away in 2003 at the age of 72. Hope that answers any questions! Yours truly, musikfriend
