OK….here it is…finally.

I got so immersed in trying to get everything perfect I lost sight of any sense of pragmatism, spun many wheels, made some user errors in BIAB and got weary of working on it.
Still a few things I’m not totally satisfied with. (jazzmammal mentioned them for me a couple posts ago)
Key of cm….I couldn’t sing it in am…..my 3 semitone vocal range is a problem.
127 BPM

My references in creating this file: Randy Crawford version (my favorite) and generous input from Ray and Matt.
Accuracy: it’s not verbatim from any one source. I gleaned from the Randy Crawford version, Matt’s and Ray’s comments and my own creative license in simplifying the arrangement to finish it up and for ease on the eyes in BIAB.
It’s far from perfect but maybe a useable reference.

If any would like to have this file shoot me a PM with your email address and I’ll forward the .sgu file to you. (royalty free….:)….I’m a hoot)
Feel free to correct, re-arrange, delete, cut/paste and add to or select another appropriate style for your own purposes.
I’d be grateful to anyone that does work with it to forward your version to me for my own edification.

Hope all are well….carry on.
