It's a beautiful song, and I enjoy most of the versions I've heard, live and recorded; but Satchmo's comes closest to my heart. :)

[Telly Savalas]

11. Satchmo is obviously the best...

but as far as post-Armstrong versions go, I dig the rendition by the Flaming Lips.

When Kenny G took that song over with his piece of shit saxophone, I vomited. What an obnoxious, arrogant prig.
