This song came from the 1963 album arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle. Very different from Nelson's swing arrangements for Frank. Only eight tracks in the album but each is a gem; supposedly Nelson's favorite album recorded by Frank on his Reprise label.
Discovered this song watching an old Dick VanDyke show - the "Twizzle" episode - where Jerry Lanning does a killer version of this. Frank, of course, always had his own inimitable style!
I think Frank most certainly did do this justice. No-one can put emotion into a song like him in my opinion, You can feel Emile's pain and sadness for his lost love.
Frank does do this song justice, it is a song about lament for one's loss of love. It is supposed to portray Emile's sadness, and you do not do that by belting.
Not as intense as the more melodramatic Broadway renditions, which is why some may find it underwhelming. But Sinatra was always cool and he strolls nicely through this. His voice is in good form. It's not an easy song, and it's damned sad too.
Just a short version Sinatra didn't have his heart in this song. Don't get me wrong I'm a big lover of his music and admire his versatility, but this does not do him justice.
Stunner, my words will not meet the way his voice might want to greet a couple fine on
romances crested wave searching the shortest route to shore where sand is grand and love is
such that it don't mind if we only touch each other everywhere the mind can meet the still
night air I know love exists but it hides itself away and wanting it so much I wonder if I may
Or maybe I have already received all it is that I now really need.

Just perfect!! Very emotional without being over the top. This has to be one of Sinatras best LPs!!

I disagree. I think Sinatra does it justice - played at my father's funeral - so means a lot.
