For my money, "Come Fly With Me" is still the quintessential Frank Sinatra song. Whenever I hear it, I have to stop what I'm doing and just listen to the way he sings it. I never get tired of hearing it.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention.. I was listening to the song with my wife a couple of evenings ago and she said the same thing. It's one of those songs, "signature" to the era up there with "Unforgettable" and "Song From Moulin Rouge" though not nearly as overplayed. I'll turn it up every time.
