Sinatra sings " My Shining Hour" For the 1943 film " The Skys The Limit" Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer wrote this lovely pure melody which Arlen has said proved that he was more than a writer of Blues songs.
Sinatra provides a convincing performance honouring Mercer's tender sentiments.

A Walk Around The Block -WITH Doris Day
Arlen and Harburg wrote this delightful travelogue in song while admitting that such places would be nice to visit, but in the Depression we just better "Take a walk around the block."
Doris Day has been under rated as a singer. However, Andre Previn, no slouch as a musician of discriminating taste happily recorded a duet album with Doris.
My favourite line is " In Vladivostok, where Bolsheviks
flock."
