An overlooked cover tune CXXI

Most listeners who know the song "More" probably think of a vocal rendition first--Bobby Darin's, most likely.

Earlier this week, however, while listening to a Pete Fountain LP, I heard another solid rendition.  Who says a classy pop tune can't be recast as a jazz instrumental for clarinet with a walking bass line?  It's catchy enough that I'm puzzled not to have heard it at least once on any radio station.
