Many great covers of this great song. My favorites are this one by Peggy Lee, Sinatra's from 1948 and Bobby Darin's from the early '60s. Nat King Cole did it first in 1948 of course.
The song was first heard in "The Boy With Green Hair", sung by a chorus over the film's opening titles. Nat King Cole had a huge hit with it a few months after the film was released. Thereafter, just about every famous singer recorded their rendition of it and Peggy Lee's was one of the best. The poster above didn't do justice to the very serious anti-war theme of the film, nor to its wonderful theme song.
The arrangement has the unmistakable feel of that period; it's great. It reminds me of the score for Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Timeless lyric though. About Pan, I guess.
The picture is that of the hero of the movie by Joseph Losey "The boy with green hair" whose song is the music in 1948. This is an authentic "chef d'oeouvre" about intolerance and prejudice in America in Maccarthysm..
+Kelsi Kirby From Wikipedia "The song was written in 1947 by eden ahbez and is partly autobiographical. It is a tribute to ahbez's mentor Bill Pester, who had originally introduced him to Naturmensch and Lebensreform philosophies, which ahbez practised."
Peggy's worm tender voice makes this romantic song sound even more lovely, and much more romantic, thank you for putting it on.

What beautiful, sensual voice she has. I just love it probably next to her Johnny Guitar.It is as good as Nat King Cole version.

many singers did this song. My faves are (in no particular order) Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Hartman. JMHO
Natalie Cole
George B. Wolffsohn I wonder if Rosemary Clooney ever recorded this?
