Franks Sinatra is only at the opening Introducing Ella. Songs Of Yesteryear. Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 -- June 15, 1996), also known as the "First Lady of Song" and "Lady Ella," was an American jazz and song vocalist.
"Angel Eyes" is a 1946 popular song composed by Matt Dennis, with lyrics by Earl Brent. It was introduced in the 1953 film, Jennifer. First edition by Dorsey Bros Music.
Because of its colourful harmonic changes "Angel Eyes" is a very popular jazz standard which has inspired many original interpretations. Several performers have recorded different versions of the song, including Bill Henderson, Chet Baker, Don Ellis, Kenny Burrell, Pat Metheny, Frank Sinatra, Sonny Stitt, Neil Sedaka, Ella Fitzgerald, Hank Crawford, Earl Grant, Jim Hall, Wayne Shorter, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Charles Neville and Duke Ellington. In 1971, when Sinatra held what he intended to be his farewell concert (and the end to his show business career), he closed with "Angel Eyes." But the retirement lasted only two years.

Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald Sings Songs from Let No Man Write My Epitaph (1960)
Try to think that love's not around
But it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes are on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Oh, where is my angel eyes
Excuse me while I disappear
Angel eyes, angel eyes.
