This beautiful melody is by the Mexican composer of 'It's Impossible', with words by Gene Lees, novelist, former jazz critic, and commentator on popular music. Lees recently assessed Perry's style and wrote: 'Como's work consistently astonishes me. He is a fantastic technician. Listen to the perfection of his intonation, the beauty of the sound he produces, the constant, comfortable breath control. And take notice of his high notes. Laymen are often impressed by the high note you can hear for five blocks. Professionals know that it is far more difficult to hit a  high note quietly. Como lights on a C or D at the top of a tune as softly as a bird on a branch, not even shaking it.' And Perry's performance of Mr. Lees' own song is a perfect example of his description.
