Old school big band club vocal music. Seth McFarland sings Frank Sinatra tunes with authority and style in front of a huge backing band. These are the same arrangements Frank Sinatra sang at the height of his career. Frank commissioned these for his show.

Back in the day, CBS and NBC would play material like this live while we listened to Cousin Bruce and Murray the K in the evening. #music #BigBand #VocalJazz #OldBlueEyes #FrankSinatra #covers

"A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You" is a song written by #NeilDiamond, recorded by #theMonkees, and released as a single on March 8, 1967. The lead vocal was #DavyJones' first on a Monkees single. The single reached No. 1 on the #Cashbox Top 100 chart; on the #Billboard #Hot100 it reached No. 2, with "#SomethinStupid" by #FrankSinatra and #NancySinatra keeping it from the top spot.

"Theme from New York, New York", often abbreviated to just "#NewYorkNewYork", is the #themeSong from the #MartinScorsese musical film New York, New York (1977), composed by #JohnKander, with lyrics by #FredEbb. #LizaMinnelli performs the song in the climax of the film. It was nominated for the #GoldenGlobeAwardForBestOriginalSong. Two years later, #FrankSinatra covered the song, and it became closely identified with both him and #NewYorkCity.
