I saw Lena Horne at the Pantages Theatre (Los Angeles) in 1982. What a great lady and performer.
My favorite cover of the song, recorded a few weeks before he died.
A powerful voice to the end. I left out of the post the story of the song’s author, who sang it himself first. Americans are not as familiar with him, as a singer of some repute in Europe. The song was written and recorded in middle age, a sort of letter or talking to himself, when he might expect a fair amount of life still before him in which to change some things.
That is the best version.
