I seriously doubt the release-year (1960) of Ceil Clayton's version of "ILMHISF".


On the back of the album on which the song is contained, there are pictures of Norman Records albums which were released from 1960-1962.





On the next link you can zoom in on the back-sleeve.

Therefore I think Ceil Clayton album was released in 1962. after the hit-version of Tony Bennett.

Moreover, Ceil's album is full of standards.


That does not leave behind the fact that the song itself is much older. Butr we already know that.

Here's a scan of what looks like a Japanese edition, that reports a 1964 recording date:
