Frank Sinatra/Nat King Cole-"Fly Me to the Moon"



This is from a Sinatra TV special dating to, obviously, 1969 (Frank refers, wittily, to the recent moon landing). FS in great form.

One of the many things that amazes me about this man is that, though he clearly was the great pop balladeer of his (or any) age, he could also swing like hell.



UPDATE: Let's also throw in Nat King Cole's treatment of FMTTM-which, complete with the verse, is almost a different song entirely-as Will Friedwald has it, this is Fly Me to the Moon vs. In Other Words.

Ignore the cheesy accompanying "art".
