The immaculate Frank Sinatra's smooth as silk & perfect timing & interpretation, delivered in cohesion with the rythm arrangement of Tommy Dorsey's superb orchestra of the sparkling wonderful romantic ballad, "The One I Love", despatched this musical episode to the stars in the blue & the angels loved his performance. Golden words of heavenly thoughts by Peter E. Farrar.
