The first of two tunes in this brief Quarantine Jams episode, this Albert Hague composition opens the session with vocalist Cyrille Aimee and pianist Emmet Cohen performing as a duo. No solos are cataloged on this segment, suggesting a performance focused on the vocal interpretation and accompaniment rather than extended improvisation. The two-and-a-half-minute reading sets an intimate, lyrical tone for the short session. Hague composed the piece with lyrics by Arnold B. Horwitt for the 1954 Broadway show Plain and Fancy, and the song became a standard through recordings by singers drawn to its wistful, reflective quality. The stripped-down piano-and-voice format captures the spirit of Cohen's Quarantine Jams series, which launched during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns as a way to keep performing and connecting with audiences through live-streamed duo and trio sessions from home. The tune leads directly into a second youth-themed standard, Young at Heart.
