As a life long Sinatraphile; it's so very difficult to choose just ONE "best" Sinatra song...because there are so many ~ I'd have to say that every song in the "Sinatra-Jobim" album (released 3-1967) is a gem, the same is true for "The September Of My Years" album as well. (released 8-1965)
That said; in my own opinion, it'd probably come down to a choice between the recording of "You Make Me Feel So Young" (released 3-1956)and the recording of
"What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life";(released 7-1974) but, that's like comparing apples to oranges.
"Young" is a swingin' tune,(arranged by Nelson Riddle, from "Songs For Swingin' Lovers") while "What Are You Doing" is a serious ballad.(Arranged by Gordon Jenkins, from "Some Nice Things I've Missed".)
Buddy; chooseing a favorite or best Sinatra song is like chooseing which of your children you love the most... it's impossible !
When I read your header, the first song that zinged into my mind was "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning". I can still remember my dad playing it over and over and Sinatra's smoky, boozy, poignant loneliness must have really touched something in me since he recorded it in 1954 and I was only five.
"When the sun is high
In the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk til dawn
As the clock ticks on
Something happens to you
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never even think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all."
Fairy Tales can come true
It can happen to you
If you're 'Young At Heart'.
These songs come to mind:
The Girl Next Door
The Way You Look Tonight
Fly Me to the Moon
In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning
Come Fly with Me
My Kind of Town
Young at Heart
Strangers in the Night
I don't know the best but I would have to rank the Disco version he did of "Night and Day" among his worst.
FYI
This syndicated radio show (on in Houston on 790AM KBME Friday 6:30PM-8:30PM) is good. It offers different records of Frank's songs throughout his career.
According to the website, there are even links to the stations that stream the program.

I agree with "That's Life" and several others but you forgot "Witchcraft". And one called "I Believe in You"
and please, if you do Strangers in the Night, leave out the dooby-dooby-doo. It's been dooby-dooby-done already.
