Go to enough weddings and you’ll hear this song so often that it may fade into the background so that it no longer registers. Give it a good listen. Let the lush strings lull you into a near meditative state and then that voice: powerful, insistent, coming from a deeper well, mixing longing and anguish in their primordial state. Listen and let the song come over you and touch feelings so deep inside, you had almost forgotten you could have them.
Mack Gordon and Harrey Warren penned the original song for a 1941 film (Orchestra Wives) and Glenn Miller had a hit with it in 1943. In 1961, Riley Hampton rearranged the song and Etta James made it her own. Her version did not become an immediate hit, but it has staying power.
