It is a case of  a song sticking in my memory. While Wiki says that the Beatles, Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton, and Kenny Rogers  among others, recorded it, I haven't located when nor for what album. So, I have no idea where I heard it. But I DID  REMEMBER the tune and much of the lyrics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Remember_You_%281941_song%29 I remember hearing this  song way back by some non-jazz singer, but don’t know if  the singer was Slim Whitman.

This is the first time I've heard Slim Whitman's version. Loved it. Thanks for posting it. Amen, Book, to your description of this sweet love song as one of the best ever written.
