Lover...




















...come back to me. Featuring three very different versions of this wonderful standard, written back in ´28 by Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein II for a Broadway show called The New Moon

Lady Day sings it like only she can: ´Every road I walk along I walk along with you...´ Big Ben shows he didn´t get called King of the Tenors for nothing, while Trane drops the comma in the title and takes it all to soaring heights. 

´And while I´m waiting here, this heart of mine is singing...´
