It was also used in the film Tea for Two, sung by Gordon MacRae. The song is used in the musical 42nd Street. This song was recorded in 1947 by Peggy Lee, and by the Flamingos in 1959, becoming one of their most popular hits. Rolling Stone magazine ranked the Flamingos' version #157 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. This version peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is a jazz standard, and has been covered by thousands of musicians.

In the US, the song reached #18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the adult contemporary chart.
