It's been a while since we've heard from Frank Sinatra. This is from his peak in the 50s, Stars Fell On Alabama, music composed by Frank Perkins, lyrics by Mitchell Parish, and featuring a Nelson Riddle arrangement. The song was apparently inspired by a November 12, 1833 meteor shower in Alabama though what the connection was with Perkins, born in Salem, Massachusetts, and Parish, real name Michael Hyman Pashelinsky and born in Lithuania, I don't know.
This was the THC Daughter's favorite song when she was little so it brings back wonderful memories anytime I listen to it.
