Put Your Dreams Away (For Another Day)
"Put Your Dreams Away (For Another Day)" is a 1943 song written by Ruth Lowe, Paul Mann, and Stephan Weiss. Frank Sinatra first recorded the song for commercial release by Columbia Records on May 1, 1945, having previously recorded it for a V-Disc and his radio show on May 24, 1944. It was during this period that Sinatra used "Put Your Dreams Away" as the closing theme song for his radio series. He recorded the song again for Capitol Records on December 11, 1957, and again for Reprise Records on April 30, 1963 (for the album ''Sinatra's Sinatra'', a set of re-recordings of songs he originally recorded for Columbia and Capitol.) For the 1965 album '' A Man and His Music'', a spoken-word introduction was overdubbed by Sinatra onto the 1963 recording, in which the singer praised his theme song for having come a long way with him - "all the way from nowhere to somewhere." The song was played at Sinatra's funeral. Lowe had also written Sinatra's first hit (as a vocalist with the To ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Hi-Lo's
The Hi-Lo's were a vocal quartet formed in 1953, who achieved their greatest fame in the late 1950s and 1960s. The group's name is a reference to their extreme vocal and physical ranges (Bob Strasen and Bob Morse were tall, Gene Puerling and Clark Burroughs were short). History The group consisted of Gene Puerling (bass-baritone or fourth voice, arranger, leader, and occasional soloist), Bob Strasen (baritone or third voice), Bob Morse (baritone or second voice and frequent soloist) and Clark Burroughs (tenor or first voice/lead). In 1959, Bob Strasen left the group after he began losing his voice to unknown causes. After Strasen's departure, Bob Morse switched to the Baritone or third part, and tenor Don Shelton sang the second part. They were occasionally supported by Frank Sinatra. Clare Fischer was their pianist for years and occasionally wrote arrangements for the group. The Hi-Lo's recorded the theme song to the 1956 television series ''Noah's Ark''.

A Man And His Music
''A Man and His Music'' is a 1965 double album by Frank Sinatra. It provides a brief retrospective of Sinatra's musical career. The album won the 1967 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Instead of using the original recordings, which were made for RCA, Columbia and Capitol Records, and therefore not licensed for use by his then-current label, Reprise, Sinatra used re-recorded versions for the majority of the album's songs, culling tracks from his prior Reprise albums. Three songs were specifically recorded for the project: "I'll Never Smile Again", "Come Fly with Me" and "Love and Marriage". There is also a narration from Sinatra that runs throughout the album. Approximately 2,000 copies of this album were originally released in a special wooden slipcase containing 3D artwork on the cover in the form of a metal plaque. Each copy was numbered and contained a signed card by Sinatra himself. The packaging also included a booklet highlighting Sinatra's career. A majority of these spe ...

Early life Born in Toronto but raised in Glendale, California, Lowe returned to her birth country of Canada as a young woman and began working as a pianist. In 1936, Lowe was working in the 'Song Shop' in Toronto when Ina Ray Hutton brought her all-female band (the Melodears) to town. Her piano player had taken ill, and Hutton was frantically trying to locate a good-looking blonde lady replacement. Lowe auditioned, and became the regular pianist in Ina Ray's band. At age 23 in 1938, Lowe married Harold Cohen, a Chicago music publicist. It was a happy marriage that only lasted one year until Cohen's death during an operation in 1939. In her deep grief, Lowe returned to live in Toronto. In her apartment, she composed "I'll Never Smile Again". Songwriter The song "I'll Never Smile Again" was first heard on the Canadian Br ...

Sinatra's Sinatra
''Sinatra's Sinatra'' is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1963. Ten of the album's twelve tracks are re-recorded versions of songs that Sinatra had previously released, with "Pocketful of Miracles" and "Call Me Irresponsible" being first-time recordings for Sinatra. Sinatra's two previous record labels, Columbia Records and Capitol Records, had both successfully issued collections of Sinatra's hits; this album was the attempt of his new label, Reprise Records, to duplicate this success by offering some earlier songs in stereophonic sound, which by 1963 was an exploding recording technology. The album was arranged and conducted by frequent Sinatra collaborator Nelson Riddle. Track listing #"I've Got You Under My Skin" (Cole Porter) – 3:26 #"In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" ( David Mann, Bob Hilliard) – 2:43 #" The Second Time Around" (Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen) – 3:03 #"Nancy (With the Laughing Face)" (Phil Silvers, Van Heusen) – 3:37 # ...
