Wow. That is an excellent story.

I stand corrected by Frank, jr.'s recent, more realistic retelling of Nelson Riddle's arranging of 'I've Got you Under My Skin" on 1956's album "Songs for Swingin' Lovers." I found common ground with Frank jr.'s assertion that Mr. Riddle was (to paraphrase)self-effacing & humble; he certainly downplayed accepting any glory for "Skin" arrangement when he said to me"it's a glamorization of the story." Here was a workhorse who did not seek glory in arranging 4 extra songs, one of which is a classic. Thus Mr. Riddle was a great compliment for Frank,Sr.
Also thanks to Frank Jr. for his insight into Bill Miller & his piano intro to Moonlight Mood from sinatra-Riddle's album "Moonlight Sinatra", a very "stylistically Impressionistic"album of Riddle arrangements.In riddle's biography "September in the Rain"(another great Riddle work)it is talked about how he was strongly influenced by Impressionist Debussy. Listen to Moonlight Sinatra & my favorite cut,a Spanish "The Moon Was Yellow."

"Pass Me By" is, indeed, the title of the song you're looking for. Released in 1964 off Frank's SOFTLY, AS I LEAVE YOU album, this rollicking tune was written by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh and introduced in the movie "Father Goose," starring Cary Grant and Leslie Caron. The song also appears in Sinatra's THE COMPLETE REPRISE STUDIO RECORDINGS, released in 1995 and 1998. Both of these albums/collections are now out of print; however, you may be able to find a CD copy of SOFTLY, AS I LEAVE YOU on amazon.com. They're usually sold as "New," "Used," or "Collectible," but be prepared to shell out!! They don't come cheap. Happy hunting!!

When I was "17" I visited Atlantic City, it was in the late 60's & I decided to see for myself the famous "500 Club" on Missouri Ave. It was in a rundown neighborhood by that time with "Club Harlem" right down the street, where Frank would visit Ella & Billie for a song or two.During the day the clubs were closed or probably no longer in operation.I walked around to the side entrance of the 500 club & saw that it was a small,intimate club, the kind Sinatra preferred.This was a getaway from the hustle of show business in New York, a stone's throw. The highlight was looking @ the hand & footprints on the front sidewalk of the club. I remember that Frank's hands were small for such an entertainment giant.
Around the year 2000 I revisited Atlantic City to see if the 500 Club was still extant. I went into a bar & asked if the Club was still around,& everyone in the bar laughed @ me, saying it had been torn down with the inception of the Casinos. I asked "What about the sidewalk handprints of Frank & Sammy?" they all said "gone", that "the only handprints you're going to see in A.C. are Michael Jackson's in front of Resorts." It's a shame not even a street sign or plaque remains where the 50's Rat Pack entertained themselves & others.

In response to:

*** am trying to find a good list of all the albums that Frank Sinatra released during his life. I am not looking for record company compilations, just ones that he recorded and released during his lifetime.***

Hello,

in response to your question I've compiled the following *very* basic list that might be of first help to you as a first overview. The dates in brackets are the initial release dates, not the recording dates.

Might I suggest A Voice In Time: a good 4 CD box set; you can find it at walmart.com

Each label will obviously have their own collections, with only rare exceptions allowing crossover.

You would need a box collection from each label/era to get what you want i think.

Would include the following box sets: "THE SONG IS YOU," 5 CD's on RCA; "THE COLUMBIA YEARS 1943-1952: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS," 12 CD's on Columbia; "THE CAPITOL YEARS," 21 CD's on Capitol; and "THE COMPLETE REPRISE STUDIO RECORDINGS," 20 CD's on Reprise. There ARE less expensive routes to take here with your collection; however, these four box sets will give you an excellent look at about 90% of Frank's seven-decade singing career. The remaining 10% can be obtained on single CD's and other box sets. Happy hunting!!! ".....when Sinatra paints a portrait, the tones and colors are his alone." ~Sid Mark~

i really need someone's expertise .
