This song is classic. Unfortunately all of the music for young folks in 2024 drives irresponsible and low frequency mindsets. May the parents reading this share songs like this that inspire and speak of hope and perseverance. This generation needs it and us to be the standard bearers. God help our youth.
I always love seeing guys use the old arrangements specifically Sy Oliver’s. I always loved Sy Oliver’s arrangement to this tune. I think having him do that whole album which this song is included on the 1962 album (I remember Tommy) Sy took this song from a slow melancholy mood to a swingin’ masterpiece and Frank swung it and I mean swung it hard especially on some live recording of his concerts in Vegas. Nobody can ever swing like the chairman. Hats off to Steve though wonderful job!
