I agree that Hartman didn't get the recognition he deserved and that's a tragedy. His is my very favorite voice in jazz. You never know how these things happen, speaking as one who used to work in the music biz. And I'll put in a plug for "My One and Only Love," the most romantic song of all time and their rendition moves me to tears almost every time I hear it. Oh, definitely.

Hartman didn't get the recognition he deserved - I wonder if it's because Cole cast such a big shadow over other male black jazz vocalists in the Sixties.
