One of my favorites. But I have to say, the Billie Holiday recording leaves the others in the dust. In terms of sophistication and subtlety which allows the sense of nostalgia, loss and love to shine through more clearly in the heart and imagination... it’s magical
Trivia: Honeymooners episode when Ralph is on “The 99,000 Answer “show. Popular songs is his category. He misses the first question. As they lead him off stage he gives song titles for everything they say. One is “I’ll be seeing you by Irving Kahal and Sammy Fain”. Classic.
Another favorite Tony Bennett song for me is September Song. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
I love that one, too.

It's always hard to choose a version! I love Billie Holiday!
I do love that version as well. But now I know that first part is missing—never heard it before.
Yes, I was looking for the "verse" (the introduction).

Haha! That's one of my favorite episodes.
Another one of my favorites!
So many songs! So little time!
