On the way into work this morning the background music to an NPR clip struck a chord. I'd heard the melody before and I couldn't get it out of my head. Later, I realized I'd heard a rendition sung in an episode of CSI Vegas.
Here, the original, and far more stunning version of the song I heard: 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' by The Platters.
It turns out the song's been rerecorded countless times...by Julie Andrews, by Cher, by Eartha Kitt, by Jerry Garcia, danced to by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers...the list goes on and on.
And here, a version that I wish I'd never come upon...
Happy listening!
