Here is a vintage magic performance, nine-tenths theatre. Vaudeville noir. Bonus: he has the look of a crazed Elvis. What a gaze. And the music. Kitsch with a catch.
The mythology of magic.

Ann, that was the first version of "Stardust" that I heard, whereupon I played it eight thousand times in a row. Not a bad worm if you have to have one in your ear. If asked to name the best song ever written, I would rebel against the foolish question but might name this one. Louis Armstrong does a pretty good job with it, though quite different.

Eva Cassidy made an indelible mark on me with her rendition of “ Over the Rainbow “.
Her life story is tragic.

Sorry, Jim. Stardust is the most beautiful song ever written, musically and lyrically. There are so many great covers, my favorite being Willie Nelson's, but I'll let Hoagy Carmichael, who wrote the music (but not the lyrics), represent himself through this link.
(Tons of other covers on YouTube. Many of them spend the first minute on the introductory verses that really don't add much at all. Hoagy himself omitted them in the recording I linked to).
