Sinatra sings " I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues ." For the 1932 version of Earl Carroll's Vanities, Arlen and Ted Koehler wrote I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues. Although it is not in the form of a traditional 12 bar blues format, it conveys again a nostalgic sadness where the lyric states that" Soon the deep , blue sea, will soon be calling me" threatens eventual suicide.
Sinatra sings it in more breezy style minimizing the impact of the somber lyrics.

Billie Holiday, on the other hand, invests the song with the real deep down sadness of the blues.
