What do "fearless," "ferocious," and "fun" have in common (besides all starting with the letter 'f')? This performance. I would love to know who the arranger is: He turns Harold Arlen's music into a really hip pagan jungle ceremony; Ms. Horne, riding it like a Jungle Queen atop her favorite tigress, turns Johnny Mercer's words into both a call-to-ritual, and a challenging invitation. And this was on network television. (Those were the days...)
