An overlooked cover tune XXVIII

Although I'm not a huge Journey fan, I'll admit that "Who's Crying Now" stands up as one of the band's stronger hits.  Although I've only heard Randy Crawford's rendition of it on the radio once, her strong, emotive vocals made me consider the song in a new light.  Prior to hearing her cover of it, it never dawned on me that "Who's Crying Now" would make a credible jazz tune, but Crawford's powerful interpretation shows it does.
