"Let's Fall In Love"- Upbeat Sinatra Version.
Arlen and lyricist Ted Koehler were commissioned by Columbia Pictures to write songs for a movie to be called " Let's Fall In Love." On the train heading west to Hollywood, the songwriters. The porter on the train was using a set of chimes to call patrons to dinner. Since there was no piano on board, Arlen borrowed the chimes so he could play around with a tune he had been developing.
By the time they had arrived in Los Angeles, the title tune was almost finished. It is a positive affirmation of the desirability of falling in love and Frank Sinatra captures the youthful exuberance often needed by moviegoers living out the depression era.
