More 20th century beauty.

More 20th century beauty. The way in which the trumpet sinuously intertwines with Frank's voice in the first half of the song (I think the trumpeter is Billy May) is the closest thing I have ever heard to a musician making love to a singer through sound.

This recording is also famous as the soundtrack for the final scene of the movie When Harry Met Sally, the great romantic comedy, set in Manhattan with Manhattan music, and one of my favorite movies of all time.

Unfortunately, the original soundtrack was never released and there is only a disappointing rendition of the songs by Harry Connick Jr. Luckily, Frank's version of "It Had To Be You" is available through many links online. I love the way, when he sings "With all your faults, I love you still" (at 2:15), you can hear a little emotional quaver in his voice.
