Version 1
            -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27S_Wonderful
From the 1927 musical Funny Face. Here's the original version in Eb.
--.-/watch?ds49aomoO7P965W0
bernard clifton does the intro and then the whole song
then adele astaire (fred's older sister) does the same, & they sing a little harmony at the end
Ella Fitzgerald does it in Bb with the 2nd intro, and introduces some new lyrics,
which I put after the 2nd intro. 1959.

I also used a couple of Barney Kessel licks from the 1955 Julie London version.
Pulling all of Barney's licks on "Easy Street" wore me out, I ain't doin' that again.
