Sinatra proves he's Got The World On A String. For the 1933 Cotton Club Parade, Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler wrote the up beat number called " I've Got The World On A String". It's proof positive that Arlen could write more than his well known blues and emotionally charged love songs. In the bridge or middle section, the singer proudly shouts " Life is a beautiful thing, As long as you hold the string ."
That's actually sound advice because life is ultimately what one makes of it.
In this live performance, Sinatra shows his charismatic live performance persona and he positively brims with energy and a positive frame of mind- a stark contrast with the morose, spurned lover crying Over The Gal That Got Away.
