If we don't know about it then how can we know about it in order to make a post in this thread about now knowing about it

I don't know.

Okay then. For a very long time I believed this to be the original.

But it's not.

that's Johnny Mathis singing a song originally written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington for the 1957 film of the same name. Nina Simone also covered it in 1966.
