" My One and Only Love "  This is a most tender tribute to the one designated as the One and Only Love . Written by Mellin & Wood, it has been covered by Frank Sinatra, Julie London and many other well-known singers of mature, popular songs. This version by Sophie Millman stands up to any of the versions performed by more famous singers . I sate this for the following reasons. Born in Russia and raised in Israel, Ms. Millman imbues the fine melody and endearing
lyrics with a low-burning, incandescent glow. It is supported by a gently pulsating bossa nova type rhythm that moves the song forward that does not overpower the singer's delightfully langorous interpretation. There is an elegant and unexpected accordion passage in the arrangement that adds even more grace to this recording. The world is fortunate that younger singers continue to find and interpret song "standards" that have stood the test of time and speak to all generations of listeners who favour well-made, literate songs
Thank you very much Sophie Millman.
