I saw Lainie & Don Rickles performing at the Concord Hotel , on a fourth of July weekend vacation in 1969. I will never forget Lainie sitting at the counter in the coffee shop at the hotel chatting with her musical arranger Peter Matz, who i believe she married later on. I was at a table with my mom , so close to Lainie, i could have been in her lap. I am very shy and i just sat there with my mom as her and Matz were gabbing away for a long time. I didnt say anything to her, but she did a great show that night.
I first heard and loved this song sung by Daliah Lavi in 1970. For me that is the best version ever. Though I must admit that Lainie is or was very beautiful.
