Hmmm, no specific songs but around 1980 I waited tables in a joint with a duo that did all the Sinatra and pop show tunes, with a real fantastic B-3 player singing and a lady singer on cocktail drums.
They were killer, and the B-3 work with the bass pedals and Leslie and tube amps was an epic experience for a summer.
So yeah, some good stuff.
I prefer Ray Charles though.

Summer Wind or I’ve Got You Under My Skin, but from the 50s/60s era of his career.
I prefer different singers on different days. I do like Ray Charles too. I can imagine that B-3 player was something else. I wish there were more good ones out there to work with!

All fun to play, and sing (albeit nothing like the great Ol’ Blue Eyes).

This one with Tommy Dorsey's band. Frank doesn't come in till about a minute in, but when he does...smooth, sweet, and sad:

I’ll Be Seeing You is one of those great standards you don’t hear that often. In my opinion it’s one of the best songs from the “American songbook.” Great arrangement by Tommy Dorsey. I think that goes without saying!

Everything Frank Sinatra did was terrific. They are all my favorites. All of them.
But if I had to pick just one it would be....
This one.... (and I think the best version is this one)
Its a gasser !!

I only like those 40s big band numbers.

A long time ago I signed up with The Jazz Heritage Society which was sort of like Columbia House except it was jazz based. One of the free CDs I got was of Frank playing in South Africa and was backed up by a band that just kicked s$$ Now I can't find the disc but this song ripped the best of the best.

I don’t think I have heard that recording before. Do you know what year that was?

No but and my CDs are very scattered around the house but I'll look for it and if I can find it, I'll make you a copy. Don't hold your breath, but I'll try to find it.
