Fly Me to The Moon, Frank Sinatra and Count Basie.
None better.
🎵Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me🎵

In advance of a presidential visit to the small town of Suddenly, California, a trio of FBI agents enter to assess potential security risks.

Something I discovered while listening to a Vocal Jazz playlist today:
Mark Tremonti (Creed, Alter Bridge) recorded an album of Frank Sinatra covers that was released in 2022. The songs were recorded with former members of Sinatra's band, with proceeds going to the National Down Syndrome Society.
#GreatAlbums1950s – TOP 10 - #FrankSinatra – Sings for Only the Lonely (1958). The third in Sinatra’s torch trilogy, this LP escapes the malaise of In the Wee Small Hours with Nelson Riddle arrangements jazzed-up by trumpeter Pete Condoli and pianist Bill Miller. The set deepens Sinatra’s personal blues with allusions to his breakup with Ava Gardner (esp. on Arlen’s “Blues in the Night”). This is late-night music for the ages – sentiment emboldened by Sinatra’s unique magnetism. #GreatPopAlbums
