Uploader’s notes: Frank Sinatra When Sinatra and Oliver tackled “The One I Inside I Remember Tommy: The Sessions More session excerpts, this time for I REMEMBER Love” in 1961, the conventional thing to do TOMMY. As always, it’s a mixed bag of alternate would have been to dispense with the band takes, incomplete takes, false starts, session chants altogether and perhaps replace them chatter, etc, plus a single spoken line for a with instrumental riffs - which, in fact, is what promotional bit of some kind. To the best of Sinatra did when he subsequently performed my knowledge, none of the material has been the song live (see the VEGAS box set for one released commercially. example).

I’ve deliberately refrained from commenting on However, whether for old times’ sake or the music in my previous torrent descriptions, maybe just for the fun of it, Sinatra and Oliver as the music generally speaks for itself, but couldn’t resist taking a different approach, let me offer one historical note here for the so in the 1961 version, it’s Oliver himself one sake of relative newcomers. This album marks hears reprising (that word again!) the original, the reunion of Sinatra with one of the most light-hearted band chant lyrics (which he important arrangers from his formative years, himself may have dreamed up) in response to Melvin James “Sy” Oliver.

I rather light-hearted responses to vocalist Jack always enjoy hearing this tongue-in-cheek but Lawrence’s delivery of the Berlin lyric. (According undeniably affectionate nod to Sinatra and to critic Will Friedwald, legendary arranger Don Oliver’s fondly remembered earlier days with Redman is often credited with originating this the Dorsey band. On top of all that, Oliver idea for another band.) They did the same thing sounds great and he swings! with “The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else,”
