An overlooked cover tune XCII

It's the title track of a 1968 Stanley Turrentine album, but it doesn't usually get played on the radio today.  I've praised various iterations of "The Look Of Love" before.  Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 recorded one of the better vocal versions, as did Diana Krall.  In Turrentine's version, however, his tenor sax carries the melody, and it's a natural fit.
