In honor of this holiday that celebrates a dramatic increase in candy and flower sales, here's a downtempo number from Chet Baker. In my opinion, this is probably the most memorable performance of Baker's career or this tune. This performance features vocals from Baker, which is not as common among his work as his trumpet playing, for which he is more well-known. But, man, he took this standard to a new level when he decided to step up to the mic for this one.

What are you listening to on Valentine's Day?
