English Bossa Nova song - "Had to be You" - 2000s(?)

Male or female singer?
Mas Que Nada is generally uptempo - often very uptempo,
so was this slow and sensual or more medium tempo?
Tho it was in English, did the singer sound Brazilian -
maybe a hint of a Portuguese accent?
Closer to easy listening or more modern?

It Had to Be You is a Isham Jones standard
that's often done in Bossa style, so I'm going for that as what you might've heard,
but, like Mas Que Nada it's done pretty often (again, a standard) and
could be a wide range of performers.
