"(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons"

OK, back to the 40's: William "Pat" Best penned and published this romantic ballad in '45. First recorded by his group, The Brown Dots. Nat "King" Cole's cover went to #1 in '46, remaining in the charts for 12 weeks. Also covered by Dinah Shore, Sam Cooke and masterfully on jazz guitar by Django Reinhardt.
