Feelin' Kinda Sunday--Nino Tempo & April Stevens

This is Nino & April's re-recorded version of "Feelin' Kinda Sunday"...a song which was recently heard on a State Farm Insurance ad which was nationally broadcast during USA sporting events. The song was also recorded by Frank & Nancy Sinatra as their follow-up to "Somethin' Stupid." It is Frank & Nancy's version that was heard on the State Farm ad.

Composer Annette Tucker remembers that all three writers (she, Nino, and Kathy Wakefield) were singing on the original demo having a wonderful time thinking up all the different parts. At the time, Annette and Kathy were under contract to Don Costa. Neil Diamond happened to come by one time while Annette was playing and singing the song, and he loved it. Nancy Sinatra heard the great demo they did (produced by Nino) and took it to her father. Frank did not particularly like the song, and did not want to record it. He did it in one take.

Per Annette: "It did get on the easy listening chart, and 40 years later, State Farm picked it up and did the commercial which we are all thrilled about. It is getting great reaction from the fans and lots of posts. I still really love the one that we did with April And Nino, and even 40 years later, I still remember the night that we cut this--and all the fun we had with it." --Annette

Nino and April re-recorded this version to give it a cleaner, crisper more modern feel.
