This is such a famous song, there are many many covers out there, I love many jazz interpretation of this song. Mui's performance is fine, though I won't say it's the best cover version.

Michel Legrand - The Windmills Of Your Mind/Les Moulins De Mon Cœur 1970
Michel Legrand regularly performs the song in concert (in its version with French lyrics, translated by Eddy Marnay). It usually includes a fast-paced improvisation on the theme.

I prefer Anita's more, with instrumental intro instead of accapella! Give me some time I'll try to find the inspired-by.
