  Yes, Sassy did sing it and it's now out on reissue, but I dont know
 on what label.  The Pointer Sisters also sang it: I have them doing
Black Coffee on "The Best of..." album.
  Also worth checking out is two INTSTRUMENTAL versions of this song.
One by Phineas Newborn on (I think) Please Send Me Someone to Love, 
and most especially the very soulful version by Ray Charles, on 
"The Great Ray Charles" on Atlantic.



   It's not quite a torch song, but my nomination for best vocal
would be Johnny Hartman doing "Lush Life".
