"Five Minutes More" is a 1946 American pop song written by Sammy Cahn (lyrics) and Jule Styne (music). It is sometimes referred to as "Give Me Five Minutes More". It was featured in the movie ''Sweetheart of Sigma Chi'', sung by Phil Brito, and was a number one hit record in 1946 for Frank Sinatra. The song was written by Cahn and Styne for ''Sweetheart of Sigma Chi''. Sinatra's recording for Columbia Records was reviewed by '' Billboard'' in July 1946. They said: "Sinatra sings it light and airy to good effect for a ditty that is inherently tuneful and catching." Other recordings were made at that time by Bob Crosby, Tex Beneke, Harry Cool, Phil Brito, and The Three Suns. Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra recorded the song on May 27, 1946, RCA Victor 20–1922, with "Texas Tex" on the B-side.

Come Swing With Me
''Come Swing with Me!'' is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1961. The album is Sinatra's final swing session with Capitol Records, as his next album, ''Point of No Return'', would be composed mainly of torch songs. In 1971 it was re-issued as a ten-track album under the name ''Sentimental Journey''. This album is possibly unique for the orchestral arrangement and stereophonic set-up by Billy May. Due to Capitol's signature "full-spectrum Stereo sound," the audience can distinctly hear the placement of specific orchestral pieces in the studio at the time of the recording (i.e., differences in brass sections from left, to right, to all together in the center). This is most apparent to the apt listener in the album's opening hit, " Day by Day". Track listing #" Day by Day" (Axel Stordahl, Paul Weston, Sammy Cahn) – 2:39 #" Sentimental Journey" ( Les Brown, Ben Homer, Bud Green)* – 3:26 #"Almost Like Being in Love" (Frederick Loewe, Alan Jay Lerner) – 2 ...
