Ella Fitzgerald sings " Like someone in Love ."
In 1944, Jimmy Van Heusen ( born Chester Babcock in Syracuse) and lyricist Johnny Burke wrote a lovely melody sung by Dinah Shore in the movie " he Belle of the Yukon."
It is a simple, pure melody, much in the style of Jerome Kern and Ella has a matchless way with elegant melodic lines.
Just to further demonstrarte this melodic masterpiece, I have added an instrumental version by noted alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. There is a fine string and guitar accompaniment to the lyrical outpouring of Desmond's souring improvisation around the basic melodic structure.
