Going back to CT's point about certain songs standing up well in various interpretations I'd mention Cry Me A River. great versions by Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London, Mari Wilson, Diana Krall, Aerosmith and many others. hard to choose one - as Nogbad said it's sometimes a question of mood and context.

Now your talking monty, Dinah Washington is right up my street. Cry me a river is fantastic and to me is awesome. What a stunning voice she had. Her version of Mad About The Boy is just so good. Penned by one Noël Coward in 1932 I believe. It was sang by many people including the comedy actress Joyce Grenfell which can be found on youtube but Dinah's version is stunning to say the least. As soon as the first note is played my skin just gets covered with goosebumps. AWESOME.............
