Sinatra was THE best pop singer of the 20th century - impeccable phrasing, great tonal/timbre and an ear for a well written song.

His signature song, “One For My Baby” and his signature performance was his “Live at The Sands” with Count Basie Band.

However, for “One For My Baby”, he was accompanied by only a piano played by his personal pianist, Bill Miller.

The album, “Live at The Sands”, was produced by Quincy Jones.

My wife and I were going through our closet when we discovered a wooden puzzle box where the puzzle was how to open it. I picked it up to shake it and heard something rattling around inside. My wife said it was “something stupid”.

I quickly found my iPad and Googled Youtube: Frank Sinatra Something Stupid.

That led to a nice, slow dance! I would recommend Freepers to try it (with your own wife)! 😀
