While I, too, preferred Dean Martin over Frank Sinatra, neither of them held a candle to the best singer and performer in the Rat Pack ...
Sammy Davis, Jr.

Sammy Davis, Jr.
You can’t be serious?
Wes Montgomery included a version of the song in his album Goin’ Out Of My Head (1965).
Wes Montgomery — smoooooooooth, soooooooothing little bumps!

Another great release was *Days of Wine and Roses*, also a Sinatra hit.
Days of Wine and Roses and Fly Me to the Moon

Wes Montgomery, "Days of Wine and Roses"
As for me, I'll take Sinatra when he swings his ass off:
Frank Sinatra, Swing Easy
Frank Sinatra, Come Fly With Me
Frank Sinatra, Ring-a-Ding-Ding!
Frank Sinatra and Duke Ellington, "All I Need is the Girl" (from Francis A. & Edward K.)
It can’t get any better than this!
Is it OK if I still *swoon* right out of my bobby sox for Sinatra?
Compare the guys. Sammy at 43:45 doing his spot on impersonation of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
