Angel Eyes-Sinatra's Definitive saloon song
In his live performances, Frank Sinatra would often mention this song as the grand daddy of saloon songs, the time when disappointed lovers pour their woes into much alcohol. One for my Baby is is a similar heart-wrenching ballad where the bartender must listen to a sad story.
From a legendary Capitol recording of lament in song , the whole album was enhanced by sensitive Nelson Riddle arrangements with compelling singing and acting from Sinatra.
Frank Sinatra's own romantic life was quite tempestuous affording him the experience he so compellingly brought to these emotionally draining songs.
He actually starts with the bridge or middle section declaiming " Drink Up. All of you people, Order anything you may." It certainly sets the tone and atmosphere for the entire song.
