What's your favorite jazz standard?

Jazz standards have a timeless appeal, and each singer brings their unique style and interpretation to these classic tunes. What's your favorite jazz standard to sing, and what draws you to it? Is it the melody, the lyrics, or perhaps a particular emotion it evokes? Additionally, is there a specific version by an artist that influences your performance? I'd love to hear about your connection to the song and how you make it your own. Bonus points for posting your favorite video performance!!
