It's hard to beat a classic song and the great voice of Nat King Cole, one of the best voices of all time. When I was in college, after listening to a number of different versions of "Stardust", I was inspired to write a private eye novella set in the 1930s called "The Stardust Man". Probably about 30,000 words. And that's really all I remember about it. I'm sure it was terrible. Long gone, of course. But I've always liked the title. Maybe I'll use it again one of these days.

I prefer the instrumental, but Cole does a nice version.
I'm in total agreement with you, James. This recording evokes summer nights in the 1950s, driving on country roads in Nebraska. Willie Nelson's version is fine, too.
I believe the song inspired Woody Allen, too, for the title of STARDUST MEMORIES.
