Note: The orchestral track was pre-recorded on February 4, 1975

Ed O'Brien:
Frank's vocal overdub was done at the MGM studio from 2 to 4 P.M. He did a
number
of takes but just wasn't satisfied. The orchestral track featured 25
musicians. After the
session, Frank and Costa decided a vocal chorus was needed on the recording.
The
trio of backup vocalists laid down their contribution on consecutive
Wednesdays in
Las Vegas, 2-12-19-75, at the Las Vegas Recording Studio. Costa wrote parts
for
four guitars and 16 strings. Frank would do the released overdub at Cherokee
Studios,
on 3-5, another Wednesday. It was done in less than an hour. When he opened
in Vegas
that month, the vocal trio recording accompanied Frank when he sang Anka's
ditty.

Ed:  I want to add a little background to this one-nighter.
Variety in January of 47 ran an article about Frank wanting
to leave the Old Gold Show. Lorilard wanted Frank back on
the Hit Parade and was offering him a very lucrative contract.
Old Gold was not about to let him out of his contract, so, Frank
decided a quick vacation was in order. This caught both CBS
and the sponsor flat footed. Frank flew  to New York on
1/31 to do a radio show.. Have not been able to track down
the exact show. He then flew down to Miami. I can find no
credible evidence that he did the 2/7 Command Performance
in Miami. I did track down the origin of that date and discovered
it was supposedly a Command Performance AFRS show. There
is no such animal to be found. The Colonial Inn, in Hallendale, a
suburb of Miami, was originally a five night engagement ( 2-10
thru 2/14). Frank' s salary would have been donated to the Damon
Runyon Fund. But the vacation also included a four day trip to
Havana, Cuba and the people,  with Frank, wanted to go
earlier than originally planned. Colonial Inn became a one night
appearance. Here is Variety's coverage:

Frank Sinatra's stint for charity( all money going
to Damon Runyon Fund) at Colonial Inn, packed the huge room
Monday night(10).

  Sinatra and Co. flew down to Havana the next day. On the evening of the
13th
  Frank did a concert in the show room of the Hotel Nacional. On Valentine's
Day
  a big party was held to honor Frank. He flew back to Miami on the 15th.
Here is a Variety entry from the 2-28-47 issue:
Let There Be Light MIAMI, Feb. 22.-It was a celeb night at Kitty Davis's
Airliner
Monday (17) and the joint was loaded with names. Among them was Frank
Sinatra,
who got up to sing. "Okay, give me a spot," he said. Just then all the
lights went out.
"Hey," Sinatra yelled, "don't cancel me. Put the lights on."
Frank flew to Mexico on the 19th for a second honeymoon with Nancy.
Although Frank had a year to go on his contract with Old Gold, they cried
uncle and canceled his show.
He finished out the season and joined the Hit Parade, for a second time, on
9-6-47.

FRANKIE SINGS SO LONG TO THE HIT PARADE 2-10-49
Sinatra To Quit Hit Parade
Seen Eyeing Tele-And CBSS
Hollywood -" Frank Sinatra and
American Tobacco Company have
arrived at an amicable parting of
the ways. The singer has definitely
decided not to return to the "Hit
Parade " program next season. His
decision is said to be based on the
conviction that television will soon
be the main market for advertisers
and is desirous of appearing on a
type of program more readily con-
vertible to the demands of video
medium .
!t is significant that Sinatra's rep -
resentatives have already participa -
ted in a series of meetings with
William S. Paley , of CBS, indicating
that he will soon join the list of stars
who have switched to CBS. All
Paley deals to date have been predi -
cated on the premise that Its newly
acquired stars will soon be appear -
ing visually as well as audibly.
