Meh -

For my money, it’s [Sammy Davis Jr and Carmen McRae](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu0l54D2DLU); tons of character and comes across like a number from a musical, which is AFIAC the best way to interpret a song like that.

If you try to treat that song like a normal duet, it dies. . .

I really like the song. I just got Lady Antebellum version this year.

I also like the version from “All I Want for Christmas”. Lauren Bacall does a duet with a very young Thora Birch. Could not find a link:(
