The title says it all. I am enjoying the DVD of Jamie Cullum Live at Blenheim Castle and he performs the song with made in the title and the first line. I recall the song from my youth with makes in both places. I can find multiple references to both versions all over the net.
Anyone know definitely which is the correct lyric?
From the liner notes of Dinah Washington’s album What a Diff’rence a Day Makes:
“Edward B. Marks Music, publishers of this standard hit, published the song originally as What a Difference a Day Made. But in the intervening years while the song slumbered, singers changed the lyric from ‘made’ to ‘makes’.”
Don’t know if that’s definite enough for you.
