It was written by Sammi Cahn and composed by Jimmy Van Heusen. Since 1955, the song has been recorded several times by many different artists, even being recorded by three different artists that same year. Dinah Shore recorded the most popular version next to Sinatra’s in the same month. Love And Marriage won an Emmy for Best Musical Contribution in 1956 for it’s inclusion in that televised production of Our Town) Sinatra recorded two separate versions of the song; one for Capitol Records (the original that aired on television) and another for his own record company, Reprise Records.
