Yet another standout Nelson Riddle arrangement, this chart was recorded in 1961 by Ella Fitzgerald for the 'Ella Swings Brightly with Nelson' album, released by Verve Records the following year. This album won Ella her seventh Grammy Award for Best Female Vocal Performance. The tune was written by Duke Ellington for the movie Anatomy of a Murder. He gave the melody to his friend, singer Peggy Lee, and asked her to write lyrics. Riddle slightly steps outside his usual style and produces a stunningly moody arrangement, moving between seemingly unrelated harmonies. His use of the 7(#9) chord throughout is particularly memorable. All woodwinds double on clarinets and bass clarinets, and woodwind 4 also doubles on baritone saxophone. An optional alternate woodwind 4 part is included that avoids this double (all the pitches written for the baritone sax. are playable on tenor sax.). The instrumentation includes 3 violins, viola, and 2 celli. An optional alternate synthesizer part is included in the event that string players are not available. Featured are trumpet and tenor saxophone fills and short solos. The vocal key starts in e minor and modulates to f minor.

Ranges: Vocal Key: E min to F min; Trumpet 1: C#6; Trombone 1: B4.
