Trilogy is one horrible album. This IS probably the best track on it, that's how bad Trilogy is.

I love Frank, ...... love him! However I prefer Joel's version.

Don Costa had written a standard pop arrangement and they played it through a few times in the studio but Sinatra wasn't feeling it. After all, by 1979, everybody had done this great song so, during a break, Vinnie Falcone started playing it in a Basie swing style, like he'd just done with 'Isn't She Lovely,' and Sinatra said, "That's it, what Vinnie's doing!" So Costa re-wrote the chart & it became what it is: classic. Conducted by Vinnie Falcone (really) it's one of the best things on Trilogy.

@Bobby and Sunatra. thanks for your comments fellow Sinatra fans. It was 25 years ago this month I first got to see Frank in concert, man what a blessing to see the Chairman of the 20th Century. Then another 3 times before he put the mic to rest.

Just love the swingin' big band arrrangement of this classic Joel tune, only Frank could make it sound so good.

@frankenzie Billy Joel said, not in so many words, that he prefers Frank's version to his own.
