Compare versions by: Sarah Vaughn - altered the melody (not for the better imo). Peggy Lee - a little weak, not the Leggy Lee we know. Dean Martin - partial. Classic Dean executed well for what was there. Vaughn De Leath - arrangement dated. If like that style, fine. Thankfully, the song was able to be updated. The phrasing "sometimes I HATE you". Not cute. I vote this version by Jennie Smith as the best. A+ arrangement. Simple phrasing of the time but done perfectly.
An example of genius orchestration
The Smiths UK..Trascendetal memory..
Remember her very first album....

Billie Holiday - this is very good. Billie is very identifiable of course. Cool arrangement.
I would rank as current 2nd.
