Great version, but the accent somewhat throws off the flow of the lyrics. I think Astaire mastered the soft and gentle tone of the song, and Sinatra kind of blew it out of the water with the heavy jazzy intro and loud lyrics. They are both great, just for different moods or occasions. Does the group you posted tour the US?

In this YT-video you hear the first Jazz record ever released (February 26, 1917). Interestingly it wasn't an afro-american band to release this record!

Love Marty Robbins. Don't worry about me is one of my Favorites.

I almost laughed when I saw Burl Ives doing Cool Water, but I listened and he doesn't do a bad job. Bob Nolan from the Sons of the Pioneers wrote incredible songs. "Way Out There" is one of my favorites.

Connie Francis - I will wait for you

Connie Francis -- Someone Else's Boy
My favorite of all her songs. She recorded it in several languages (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portugese and Spanish) and for some reason I particularly like the German version the best. Evidentally the German version even became popular here in the States as she also performed it on the Ed Sullivan Show.
