Perfectly Frank playlist

Frank gives $5000 in honor of granddaughter AJ Lambert. And she would host a show on Siriusly Sinatra many years later.
 
Another song to add. Don Gibson wrote and recorded I Can't Stop Loving You in December 1957. It was released as the B-side of Oh Lonesome Me (also written by Gibson). Oh Lonesome Me was number one on the country chart for eight weeks in in April-May 1958 and I Can't Stop Loving You peaked at #7 on the May 12 1958 country chart. A version of I Can't Stop Loving You by Ray Charles & The Ralph Burns Chorus was number one on the Hot 100 for five weeks in June-July 1962. Frank Sinatra and Count Basie included the song on their album It Might As Well Be Swing, which reached #13 on Billboard's October 24 1964 Top LP's chart

 
Although I did not list it in my Top10 Sinatra songs. "All the Way" is a song I hear frequently on Siriusly Sinatra that I really enjoy hearing.
I returned to my Senior Center Monday Classic Movies today, first time in a month. The movie was "The Joker is Wild" with Frank Sinatra.
Also other notables: Jeanne Crain, Mitzi Gaynor, Eddie Albert, Beverly Garland and Jackie Coogan. The movie had about 8 different singings and versions of "All the Way:
 
Another rarity to add. Actually two. Perfectly Frank played both versions. The Music Stopped, written by Harold Adamson (lyrics) and Jimmy McHugh (music), was introduced by Frank Sinatra in the RKO musical Higher & Higher, which was released on New Year's Day 1944 and was Sinatra's first movie. The song was released as a V-Disc (#116). On October 29, 1947, Sinatra recorded The Music Stopped with the Alex Stordahl Orchestra. That version was released as a single in March 1950 but failed to chart.



 
My weekend song:
Yes Indeed! - Frank Sinatra (LP/1961)

I will not post the video but the song reminded me of 1st Grade. Our teacher wanted us to sing "Yes Indeed". Everybody knew and was singing the song except for me. Even the bullies were singing. I just pretended I knew it
 
Yes Indeed! was written by Sy Oliver and was first recorded by Sy Oliver, Jo Stafford and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. The song peaked at #4 on Billboard's August 9 1941 Best Sellers chart. Dorsey had 188 top-40 hits between 1935 and 1958 – and Yes Indeed! is the only one that featured vocals by Sy Oliver. (Thirty-five featured vocals by Frank Sinatra.) Sy Oliver and Jo Stafford also sang lead vocals on the 1941 single Swingin' On Nothin' but that one failed to chart.
