Some ballads from late 1950s crooners: from 1958, "It's All in the Game" by Tommy Edwards
From 1957: "You Send Me" by Sam Cooke
And from 1959: "What a Difference a Day Makes" by Dinah Washington
Indeed. There are some few recordings in the history of pop music that one is tempted to call "immortal", and this is one of them. You can listen to it over and over, and no matter how many times you've heard it, it still sounds as fresh as it did 60 years ago. The Wikipedia article on Dinah Washington is fascinating reading, BTW. She was certainly one of the very dominant female vocalists of the 1940s and 1950s.
