I think most Brits of a "certain age" will remember this, albeit as a piano instrumental by Ramsey Lewis - it was used for many years by Jimmy Savile as the theme music for his double top ten show of a Sunday dinnertime!
Thanks, EB!
:D :D :D

Personally, I think Eva's version is the best I've ever heard! On rainy mornings like this I like to listen to Eva, she just fits rainy days perfectly!
In case you want to learn this one too (it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL), I've added an mp3 at http://elecktrabluemp3.yolasite.com/
