frankie makes me think of the north end in boston, walking with a guy i dated one summer, down a little italian back street, smelled like bakeries, high on love and life and anticipation of a heartbreak...:)
Sinatra did several versions of "The Song Is You", first as a ballad in the 1940's, then as an up-tempo version here with Billy May in 1958, then again in 1979 on Trilogy.....I think I prefer the swinging version(s) a little more, but any Sinatra version of a song is always worth listening to.
This is definitly a Billy May (Screaming Trumpets) arrangment. This song was written in 1934 by Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein for the Wm. Fox Movie "Music in the Air" that starred John Boles, Gloria Swanson, Douglass Montgomery, and Margaret Sullavan, and of course the Old master Al Sheehan. This was the second most popular song at the time the opening song to the movie was "I've told Every Little Star"
This movie is the the Musical adaption of FW Murnau's "Sunrise" Interesting Approach.

When thinking about those times, Sinatra and "King" Cole are definitely in my mind

This was actually recorded on September 30, 1958. The December 9, 1958 recording was actually an alternate, which I have posted today.

Frank Sinatra's recordings with Billy May and Nelson Riddle were among his best.
