This song by Arthur Hamilton was first featured in the 1956 film The Girl Can't Help It, which was mostly early rock and roll. (In fact, it was a hugely influential film in postwar England, which was starving for American music and pop stars; Jeff Beck has mentioned the movie many times in interviews.) But this is far from rock and roll; Julie London's performance with Barney Kessel on guitar is really the definition of torch music, and a bona fide classic. But the song (same version) was repurposed brilliantly in V For Vendetta (2005), which is why I've put both of those images in the icon.
My arrangement is in two sections; the first is all jazz archtop guitar (an Eastman with P90s, by the way) while the second goes into more modern territory, though I think it still stays faithful to the original. That would be the Warmoth part because I did the solo work with my Warmoth HSS, which is named "Warburst" because I need to be able to name the tracks when I record so that later I can tell what I used. It's an incredibly versatile guitar.
