This song (Frank only) came on in my tap class tonight and I was reminded of this version, which came out when I was in high school and got me listening to Sinatra.
In general, I’m not a huge fan of Mr. Sinatra. I adore a couple of songs (this, “That’s Life”, “Something Stupid”) but overall I find I’m usually snapping my fingers and yelling at him to, “Speed it up, Frank!” But this is pretty speedy and I love the way their voices work together.
Wow, I don’t remember this coming out at all. That video is so very, very late 80s/early 90s. I almost feel embarrassed for it. As for myself, I love Frank Sinatra’s voice. I can understand your criticism that his songs are too slow. I never thought that before, but now that you mention it, I agree that most of them are. Even so, I adore his song "Always." Such a beautiful sentiment.
We sang this song in high school. So it is a favorite standard of mine in general. I was not aware of this version. Thank you for sharing.
