2. The lovely female on this video is Helen Forrest, if I'm not mistaken.

This is one of my favorite songs from the Harry James orchestra. Love the long trumpet and orchestra intro,

and then that extraordinary voice! Thanks so much for the post!

4. That standard was used to comic effect...

…in an ad for Labatt beer; this was in the ‘90s IIRC. Those were the ads with the guy in the black bear suit (they were a Canadian beer company, after all). The bear is having dinner with a group of Japanese executives. Later, it shows the presumably inebriated bear and executives singing “You Made Me Love You” karaoke-style.

Hopefully, someone can post the YouTube clip here. I’m on a brand-new smartphone and haven’t figured that out yet.
