Jaguar "The Very Thought Of You"

[MasterPeter]

Wanted to know if anyone knew the artist and any other recording info of "The Very Thought of You" used in a Jaguar commercial in the mid to late 1990s. Any clues in the chase would be appreciated.....

"The Very Thought Of You" sung by Billie Holiday in car commercial early 2000

Does anyone know or recall a car commercial in either the late 1990's (1999, 1998) or early 2000's that featured Billie Holiday (sounded like Billie in her later years, voice is more rough) accompanied by only a piano. I don't recall the car company. If anyone knows where this version of this song came from PLEASE let me know. I've looked everywhere. I am thinking maybe its a Billie impersonator or someone who sounds like her. The song with just vocal and piano sounds amazing. Thank you.

And this article mentions the Nat King Cole version:
