Oh, Bookie….
Sinatra owns that song

It’s a song from a guy who’d like to be drunk, but isn’t — not dancing.
And, Ella Fitzgerald has an exclusive sublease on it. Give it a listen on iTunes.
=)
But it was written for Fred! I find Sinatra’s version a bit too maudlin. As for Ella, she owns everything she ever sang. That woman tops my list of all singers, male or female.
Heh, well Fred was a great dancer.
And, I can see you ain’t never tried to drown your sorrows…
It’s supPOSED to be if not maudlin, oh, I dunno, easy and sad?
You are absolutely right about Ella. That Lady could pack more notes into one note than anyone ever had or will, and make it sound effortless, and never gimmicky. Ain’t just any broad can sing a guys gin song, you know.
; )
Sorry for all the whiteout here, but I just couldn’t find words to do Ella justice. Either you get her or you just don’t.
