Road House (1948) - Ida Lupino singing "One For My Baby"

Why did I include this? Because I like it so damn much. Because singers with great voices aren't always the best choice to put across a song. The Ida Lupino version of The Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer song, "One for my Baby" is considered one of the greatest singing scenes in movie history. That's pretty high praise for a song that's been sung by all the most famous singers, including Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Tony Bennett, Frankie Laine, Fred Astaire and even Marlene Dietrich. But then as Celest Holm says about Ida in this classic film noir, "She does more without a voice than anyone I've ever heard."
