Very nice. It was not "overdone" -- it was performed well.

It's a live performance, her first moments with a mic in that "full of brass" setting. Prediction. Ashley Orlando will be at her best in a studio recording of this gem. With a Neumann mic, like Frank and Tony always required.
I'm just so prejudiced in favor of modern covers of this gem -- best song written in 1939, which is saying something!
Deepest thanks for sharing The Kingwood Big Band.

Enjoyable performance!

After Nat King Cole, can anyone else compare? But, a valiant effort here, by both singer and orchestra.
