Frank Sinatra - That Old Black Magic (Reprise 61)

Frank Sinatra
Reprise Recordings 1961
H. Arlen & J. Mercer




That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

The same old tingle that I feel
inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's
caught in the tide

I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, and I'm aflame
Aflame with
such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire

You are the lover that I've waited for

The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine

Baby down and down I go,
all around I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love..

This for me is THE version.

[DanielFischerMusic]

@Dodmen1 This was recorded on the 21st of march 1961 for Capitol Records (with the orchestra Billy May). The Album is entitled "Come swing with me".

need i say more

This is the quintisential swinger.It's the old standard swinger that swings.Others have done this song,and others have their opinion of who did it best,but as for me,I believe this is the definitive version,because no one could swing like Sinatra.
