Three versions of the same song... yes, this one is a favorite: HOAGY CARMICHAEL's "Stardust".

LOUIS ARMSTRONG who recorded "Stardust" at least a few times, I think each version is worth listening to so I treat all to... uhm... three...:

That famous recording has been over played, but the old video makes it fun again.  THE ANIMALS were cool.  I thought JOAN had it for a moment.  Nope.  THE ANIMALS.

I read that "When Sunny Gets Blue" is a song recorded many times and was hot in its era.
