SINATRA AT HIS MOST EXPRESSIVE singing " I GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VERY WELL"

Sinatra at his most expressive singing " I Get Along Without You very Well."

Composer Hoagy Carmichael ran across a poem by writer Jane Thompson. He set it to music and produced this highly romantic and tender ballad. Sinatra recorded it earlier in the album Wee Small Hour of the Morning with an exquisite Nelosn Riddle arrangement.

Anumber of years later, Sinatra appeared in a live London concert and this rendition is deeper, more mature and evocative than his fine earlier recording.
 To my mind thsi is a perfect combination of a great song, wonderful singers interpretation and a stunning Nelson Riddle arrangement for strings. This is pure artistry.
