Tenor saxophone - Scott Hamiliton ^^ TWO THUMBS UP !!

Mrs. Clooney’s and Mr. Bennett’s (with Bill Evans) versions of this song are sublime.

[@pamelaledgerwood2004]

She was the best......so smooth and right on key with every note......Sorry she's gone, but fabulous!!

[@mickeybitsko9856]

I love her Concord label records. Beautiful.

From The Road to Rio, This is just the most beautiful song. This is a great rendition don't you think..no fooling around with what is already perfect to begin with. I've been a huge fan of Rosemary since the moment I heard Come ona my house so many years ago.

[@michaelshanks6932]

I've known this song since I was six (sung then by Danny Thomas, of all people), but I don't know anyone who sings it better than this. Beautiful, indeed.

[@user-en8mx8ug1f]

You should hear Nat King Cole’s rendition.

Такая старая, старая прекрасная мелодия... Спасибо Rosemary Clooney, что позволила нам не забыть мелодии прошедшего времени, которые останутся навсегда...
Such an old, old beautiful melody ... Thanks to Rosemary Clooney, which allowed us not to forget the tunes of the past tense that will remain forever ...

[@mickfelder2017]

Yes, that’s Dave McKenna on piano…what a group!

[@virginia.cherishian449]

[@jeanclaudepoitrasdesign]

Simply the best.

[@bjackblack]

Nice 😎✨

[@stephenvincent4989]

Yes, no greater compliment than this beats Frank’s rendition. Sorry blue-eyes Ms. Clooney gives this the poignancy it truly deserves along with a smooth swing.

[@FabriziodeRossiRe]

Meravigliosa Rosemary Clooney !

[@mariahyman2025]

I miss you Miss Clooney RIP

[@davidwilbur364]

Ah man, sublime.

[@dianefrank537]

The best, the very best.

[@tatiananadel6611]

Супер! Леди Гага с Тони Беннет тоже великолепно исполняют этот хит..

[@scottrobinson2060]

That's Jake Hanna on drums.

Love is funny, or it's sad
Or it's quiet, or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall you fall
And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all
Love is tearful, or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful I know
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful I know

[@davidhanrahan717]

Not positive but believe that’s Scott Hamilton on tenor and Dave McKenna on piano…

[@user-en8mx8ug1f]

The best rendition of this song is performed by Nat King Cole!!

[@chriswerner6689]

Why no credit for the bass player? Does anyone know who it is?

[@jeffgouge7456]

I think.... that is Bob Maize on bass.... I think the drummer is the one who is not identified....

[@jeffgouge7456]

oh! Silly me.... that's the great Jake Hanna......
