And now, the times they were a changing and so was Frank adapting....
What made Frank the greatest singer....he was down once, like all of us ...but he worked hard, he developed his voice, his style, and got Nelson Riddle, a great arranger to work with him. Success , hard work, planning, choosing his music and his arranger....the magic of success!

Frank Sinatra - Night And Day (1957 version)
Note the difference in arrangement, breath, presentation....by now we were out of high school and teens had been swooning for years! This was the start of swooning....
Frank Sinatra - Night And Day 1943 Version - Cole Porter Songs
Oops I said three times he recorded this song, It was 4 times..... I was in first or second grade and my friend's sister was a teen....and in love with Frank, as all teen girls where...
André Rieu - My Way (Live at Radio City Music Hall, New York)
What a marvelous tribute to our wonderful Frank Sinatra. I wondered why he chose this song, other than it might personify Frank to him....If you read my blog you know that I talked about Night and Day, as the song that we who grew up with Frank Sinatra, recognized as the song of songs for him. He recorded it three times during my growing up years, it followed us from what we now call middle school thru high school and beyond....so in my mind, Night and Day is the song of songs for Sinatra. It is just terrific that we have Siriously Sinatra on 71 Sirious Radio, because all day long I can listen to the marvel of Sinatra, when I choose to, and that is at least every time I drive somewhere,
