An interesting look at the process. Note the small audience of people seated there watching him. He always wanted people to watch him while he recorded in the studio, because he felt it made his performance better.

"Although I like both, I thought Dean Martin was a far better singer. Also a better actor, comedian, and all around performer."

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.

Wes Montgomery included a version of the song in his album Goin’ Out Of My Head (1965).

Another great release was *Days of Wine and Roses*, also a Sinatra hit.

Actually, Andy Williams had the big hit with "Days of Wine and Roses," but Master Wes took a lovely crack at it, too:

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.)

Well, my darling, once again you're right.

Is it OK if I still *swoon* right out of my bobby sox for Sinatra?
