Best song ever

Below you'll find a video clip of what I think is just about the best song ever...instrumental at least. It's called "Here's That Rainy Day." It was one of Johnny Carson's favorites. The clip I found was recorded from the tribute show for Carson on Letterman in January 2005.

Before, I was ok with the song...but this arrangement is spectacular. Definitley worth checking out.

I remember watching this episode of Letterman, because I was a big Carson fan, and am glad I have finally found a good version of this moment of TV history (you don't see this type of stuff on late night TV, and it's a shame).

The orchestra playing is, I believe, either from Toronto or Montreal, along with Doc Severinsen, Tommy Newsom and Ed Shaughnessy.
