Love Is the Thing, 1957
Written by Marvin Fisher and Jack Segal
Cole's masterful, unmistakable voice elevates this stately jazz standard about a once happy-go-lucky girl who has had her heart broken. The narrator has a feeling it won't be forever: "Hurry new love, hurry here / To kiss away each lonely tear / And hold her near when Sunny gets blue." The band plays the beautiful melody with restraint (albeit sticking in a few string flourishes), letting Cole have the spotlight.
