I came across this review of the Dorsey
disc.  Not favorable.
Hi Scott,                 As I mentioned yesterday, Frank made the right choice
in skipping that dirge.I have the Foster recording and listened to Mr. Crosby's
attempt to make a passable re-cording. I'm sure Frank allowed Dorsey to use his
likeness on the music sheet.Ed  Scott  From: sinatraphiles-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: [sinatraphiles] "A DOOR WILL OPEN"      Michel just sent me a much
better copy of the sheet music.  Hi Ed  Here is another one a little bit
different from Belgium (my collection)  If you need a better copy of the Dutch
one let me know            note: Song was written in 1945 Sheet music was
published in London, France and Belgium. Crosby did a recording in September45
and Tommy Dorsey in October 45 with Stuart Foster and TheSentimentalists doing
the vocal honors. The latter version peakedat #15 and charted for four weeks in
Billboard. Belgium sheet musicclaimed Sinatra's version was recorded for
Columbia Records. DorseyBrothers published the sheet music. In the fall of 45,
there was athaw between T.D. and his former vocalist. Frank might have agreedto
go along with the foreign publication. I can find no evidence thatthe sheet
music was published in America. This morning I dug outa CD with Foster singing
the song. It isn't much of a song. I am very surprised Mr. Crosby bothered with
it.Ed
