Haunted Heart is one of those obscure standards that deserves to be better known. This tune came up in the thread about Early Autumn.

Renee' Flemming's recording is probably the finest, most emotional performance of popular material by an opera singer I've heard.

Nice standard guitar version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M37rKGJI60

Bill Evans' recording is still unsurpassed.

Jo Stafford’s version is great.

Charlie Haden Liberation Orchestra featured her vocal in it.

It sure is! My favorite Jo Stafford LP is "American Folk Songs": achingly beautiful.
