It's by Bobby Short. Ray Charles first recorded it in 1961. Here's a live version from 1964. Note the quick tempo:
Here's some local musicians somewhere in the USA about 10 years ago. This version is clearly based on Charles's version, except we don't have backup vocalists and the band is fronted by a woman:
This is the marvelous Sant Andreu Jazz Band five years ago. This version, too, is based on Charles's. The trumpet player does something very hip at the beginning of his solo (1:35), he holds a single note for several seconds:
Continuing in the same vein, Bob Dylan (1986) with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, despite the fact that Dylan's vocal instrument can't compare with Charles's the arrangement is much the same:
Here's Hugh "Dr. House" Laurie from nine years ago. What's up with that self-conscious not-quite-ironic tour through the studio? A bit anxious? His version isn't modeled on the Charles original. The tempo is much slower, and the opening verse is very spare. But we've still got back-up vocals and a sax solo:
Finally, one-and-only Grace Kelly completely revises the song, reconceptualizing it for the 21st century with sounds and textures that owe a lot to electronic genres. Grace wails on alto:
I've set up a play list of various versions. You should probably check out one of the Joe Cocker versions. I double-dog dare you to listen to more than 10 seconds of the Trini Lopez version. What a dog! The Lavine version is definitely worth a listen; very gritty vocal. Judging from the names, this is from Eastern Europe somewhere.
Sant Andreu Jazz Band is a youth jazz band from Barcelona, featuring 7- to 20-year-olds. The bandleader is Joan Chamorro.
The Sant Andrew Jazz Band is based inn Barcelona, Spain. Chamorro founded it in 2006 for youth between the ages of 7 and 20. They have toured Spain and neighboring countries and even the United States. They often have top-shelf jazz musicians perform with them at festivals.
Here is a festival performance from 2011:
Undecided
Sant Andreu Jazz Band ( 2011) Undecided & Jesse Davis & Wycliffe Gordon
Elsa Armengou trompeta
Wycliffe Gordon trombon
Jesse Davis saxo alto
Andrea Motis trompeta solo
Marc Martin piano solo
Notice the front line on the head. Two tall and somewhat overweight men flanking a young girl. The men are world-class musicians, Jesse Davis on alto and Wycliffe Gordon on trombone; the girl is Elsa Armangou, who must be 8 to 10 years old. That front line says it all: All of them belong there. Each has a part to play, and they play it.

Kids and Music, la, Sant Andreu Jazz Band “IL DOCUMENTARIO”
This is a one hour documentary about the group. It is in Spanish. If you don’t speak Spanish – I don’t – that’s not a problem. You can see well enough what’s going on.
I’m going to present the rest of the clips without commentary. I’ve chosen them to represent a range of styles.

Si tu vois ma mere
“If you see my mother” is from the repertoire of Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) a pioneering New Orleans musician who spent a good deal of time in Europe. He also worked as a tailor.
