"You Don't Know Me" was written and released 56 years ago. Since then it's been recorded by hundreds of top artists. I listened to a half-dozen covers last night and finally decided I liked the Ray Charles' rendition best.

The John Legend version he sang as a bar mitzvah entertainer on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm is also very good:

I'm probably biased because he's a favorite in general, but I love Michael Buble's version of this song. There was a point at which I'd listen to it on repeat non stop a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteDid you end up appreciating the movie, Stan? It's one of my favorites.
