Julie London...Ella’s a close second.

Best female version ever was by Mrs Jack Web.

A Susan Boyle version recorded ~25 years ago (and again recently, I think) is pretty doggone good.

I think this is the video. Pretty incredible...Ella does "Cry me a River"

That said, I still think Julie London might be the best. But what do I know?:-)

Michael Bublé.

I’m a musician, been playing for decades. I’m a straight guy happily married for a dozen years. I was skeptical when people first started fawning over Michael Bublé. But he really does has skills. His version of this song is solid.

I loved Julie London. Sex appeal today’s bimbos can’t even dream about.

But for me, Joe Cocker’s cover has always been my favorite.

I vote for the midget in fur coat singing it in the phone booth on the old Spike Jones show, where the tears fill up the phone booth as he sings. It was a gut buster.

It took me over a year to even *listen* to a Michael Bublé song. I was skeptical, since people seemed to love him so much. I figured he was a fad for adolescent girls and recording studio publicists.

But he’s got depth, real musical skill. Yes, I’m a fan.

I like Julie London, hands down. But just for the record, I also like Joe Cocker's version. Change of pace...

I definitely go with Julie London, but I have to mention that I think Crystal Gayle did an ok job with it.
