Track:
The was still wet on "If You Are But A Dream," written in 1944 with lyrics and music by Moe Jaffe, Jack Fulton and Nat Bonx. A sensitive arrangement, this creates a sunset of subdued colors for this marvelous Frank Sinatra performance, investing this song with the same concern and care as he would for a higher status and older song. One can hear Tommy Dorsey just barely on his trombone, staying discreetly in the background while his protege is all in the foreground.

Frankie is one bad ass dude
Fake Blind Lemon Jefferson,
I could not agree more! Frankie had that ability, like everyone of his generation, to try to peer into the darkest corners of a song and think "What is it the music and lyrics are asking me to do?" The results could be almost operatic in nature, feeling and, in Frank's case, intensity reserved for classical masterpieces.
Yours truly,
