4. Gotta go with Harry Connick.
His live Big Band Jazz version is raucus....except that don't seem to know how to end it, LOL.

Chaka Khan does a fantastic female vocalist version, though. Better then Smith, Holiday,or Vaughn. IMHO.

5. Satchmo owns it.

His version from the early 30s is definitive.

On the other hand, it's one of those songs it's impossible to do a bad version of.

6. Ella
with her amazing scat chorus in the middle...

I think Billie deserves honorable mention, too.
