Hi Tamar! I found yesterday that a number of Chinese singers, including the great Teresa Teng, recorded the song, but I couldn't find any of them to beg, borrow, or steal.

hi Brian in UK!
who knew Clint Eastwood sang, for that matter?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm Uncle Michael:

The definitive "I Talk To The Trees" has to be Dickie Smothers'.
  1:40pm gary mitchell:

or Lee Marvin for that matter
  1:40pm Listening Out There:

Clint Eastwood is a big jazz fan. Might have something to do with his attempt to sing...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:41pm Charlie:

Gary - exactly! And they're all wonderful.
Uncle Michael -- I'd love to hear that one!
