I'm typically not a Sinatra guy, but this just inspired spontaneous Sunday afternoon dancing with my wife.

A 10 by default.

I used to have a totally negative "old fogey" impression of Sinatra...however, I've come to really like a lot of his work...his phrasing is second to none...and I dare say he is one that the more enlightened singer/songwriters look to, to see how it's done...

Eclectic means never having to say you're sorry.

Keep an open mind. And give "Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years" a try...that was my first crack hit.

If I wanted to listen to this I would tune into Radio 2.

Get rid of this rubbish

You know, I worship certain periods of Sinatra - including this one. However, I just don't like this song as much as others by him.

It makes me long for "My Funny Valentine" or the original version of "Old Man River" - which is flat out freakin genius.

you dissapoint me. we are contemporaries by your profile and if you can't love a little sinatra every once in a while then you need to expand your horizons, never too late. and the LaWrence Welk show is a whole 'nother kind of nightmare populated by stepford 'bots with no genitals...shudder..., if they had frank singing with a bourbon in one hand and a smoke in the other I would have been watching too. read his biography by daughter nancy to jumpstart an appreciation of him and what he accomplished in his career.

Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce. This one would be fine if it *went* anywhere, but I have issues with any song where the second verse is same as the first, especially when I *know* it's not supposed to be. Play the Dr. John one: it has a story.

I like the Dr. John/Ricky Lee Jones cover better - more playful, more sexy, IMHO.

I can see my folks dancing close together with those grins on their faces. The whole world came to a stop when Frank was on the stereo. Thanks Bill.

Thanks to R & B for adding my upload here. What a great, classic album! It was hard to pick just one track off of this. RP already had the inferior duet (with Bono! ugh) version of "I've Got You Under My Skin" I decided to go with this instead. Sorry, Cole Porter. Here, Nelson Riddle arrangements with Frank's unequalled voice and phrasing. All other versions of this song pale in comparison.
