      Same here. I couldn't understand it either. Mister Rat Pack Las Vegas? Really? I had heard that he was a teenager heartthrob, and teenage girls swooned over him like teenage girls swooned over the Beatles, but then you hear/see these old recordings and you finally get it.

    I’m a great admirer of early Sinatra and his voice in the decade of the 40s, he was still married to Nancy and raising his children but he abandoned her for a tramp and his voice lost its original crisp quality in the 50s and I can’t endorse his chosen lifestyle but I will always cherish his recordings of the late 30s and 40s!

      Agreed. My use in this context is very low key with its use of simple algorithms that have been trained to remap every shade of gray into color and to sharpen previously fuzzy images (NASA has been doing that for decades). That being said, I have been intrigued by the use of AI by Hollywood animators or those having the computer create abstract fantasy or deep fake stuff. I see all of that as a novelty though and much of it seems a bit repetitive.

    This is the first time that I have heard of this song, maybe because I was not born yet when the radios played this on the airwaves. Among all of Frank Sinatra's songs, this is now my favorite.
    If You Are But A Dream
    If you are but a dream
    I hope I never waken
    It's more than I could bear
    To find that I'm forsaken
    If you're a fantasy
    Then I'm content to be
    In love with lovely you
    And pray my dream comes true
    I long to kiss you but I would not dare
    I'm so afraid that you may vanish in the air
    So darling if our romance should break up
    I hope I never wake up
    If you are but a dream.

      Sorry, I’m pretty sure this is the only one I have. I stumbled across this one by accident, and was so impressed by young Frank Sinatra’s voice that I had to share it (after I restored it). Most of us grew up listening to the older mature Vegas era Sinatra, and had no idea that there was this earlier era to his voice
