Listening to Robbie Williams' rendition of Harold Arlen's melancholy "One for My Baby" from Williams' multi-platinum album "Swing When You're Winning." This track features the legendary Bill Miller on piano. Miller played on Frank Sinatra's original version and was his accompanist for over 40 years. Bill Miller performed "One for My Baby" at Sinatra's funeral in 1998. When he recorded this track with Robbie Williams, Miller was 84 years old, yet his distinctive light touch on the piano hadn't diminished, and nor had his ability as an accompanist. Miller died in 2006, while touring with Frank Sinatra Jr. He was 91.
