I met Anita, once upon a time. Almost got to play with her.

Nasty. She did everyone on the scene back then.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Sorry, but as the owner of 99.9% of Frank Sinatra’s recordings
(including the bootlegged studio rehearsals and unreleased alternate versions and early radio and concert versions),
I must assert that the Sinatra version is the best one in my opinion.
