A collection of deeply sad, dark torch songs with themes of lost love and brokenhearted despair, “Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely” was released September 8, 1958 on Capitol Records.
This is one fantastic review on the anniversary date. I juggle between this and In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning as my favorite Sinatra album. I usually go with Morning because I like the cover so much better than this one. I say to myself, One for my Baby is probably the best quarter to three song ever written…but then, who doesn’t lie awake and think about the girl…thanks again for this.

Thanks Floyd. Mercer wrote it on a napkin in P.J.Clare's bar! Judy Garland really got under his skin.
I remember that story! Thanks for reminding me! My favorite grave to visit in Savannah…
My favorite album by him.
I agree
