This is one gorgeous ballad for female vocalist and big band. Educator/arranger/bandleader Frank Mantooth has a knack for picking wonderful songs, and this is one of his personal favorites. From the 1954 film Love Me or Leave Me, originally sung by the legendary Doris Day, this song will give you goose bumps with its beautiful melody and lyrics. A lush flugelhorn solo with simple backgrounds and beautifully voiced saxophone scoring provide just a few ingredients for this great chart. Your female vocalist will stop the show with this arrangement, the perfect choice for concert or dance. Truly superb.
