Ignoring later Billie and instrumental versions, here are a few more, 
none of which I've heard:

Bill Russo with Shelby Davis vocal.
Carmen McRae.
Diana Ross (twice).
Nina Simone.
Abby Lincoln.
Dee Dee Bridgewater.
Miki Howard.
Denise Jannah.
Terence Blanchard with Jeanie Bryson vocal.
Jacque Tara Washington.
