I'm surprised that I have never posted this song before. Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" is one of my favorite songs ever, and it was mentioned in the Stephen King/Peter Straub novel, "Black House" (which was a sequel to "The Talisman", which King also wrote with Peter Straub), and I looked it up after reading about it. It's a very calm, laid-back oldie, but it has tons of charm and class. Here is some info on Hoagy Carmichael. There are tons of covers of this song.

Here is Nat King Cole's version of the song, which is good, but not as good as the one above (in my opinion) ...

Here is Harry Cool's (I think that is the right name) version ...

I've posted one video from her before, but I thought I would post another since she does a lot of good covers of songs I like.

Here is her cover of Feist's "My Moon My Man" ...

She has a lot of Regina Spektor covers (she also has original songs), too, on YouTube, and she has a page on MySpace.
