Here is Myles Collins's interpretation of Ralph Burns's great chart for Natalie Cole, from her "Unforgettable: With Love" album. This transcription is for a standard 5/4/4/4 big band, and follows the form and structure of the final studio version very closely. This chart should be taken as a mid-tempo swinger, at about 125 beats per minute. If it is played too fast, the vocalist won't have time to sing the lyric clearly. The chart is in the original key of G and there are no saxophone doubles.
