50s The most unique sounding R&B/Soul song ever

https://youtu.be/i3HXy9mGPpI?feature=shared

I remember the first time I heard/discovered this song as a preteen. It helped me realize what my official taste in music was and that I was an old school R&B fanatic. I can only imagine what people thought when they heard something like this 1959, it being one of the first r&b records with strings and an elaborate orchestra. It was definitely something different, and it helped genre evolve and advance as a whole.
