There is something special that has always gravitated me to this song. Likely because of the masterful storytelling and the hopefulness this song gives off. I for one am a huge fan and love the officially released version on the Capitol album titled 'Where Are You?' This version is unique as it seems to be the first version Frank ever performed of this song with a backing choir. I will also note this version is very rare and while I don't have the entire broadcast, the sound quality on the portion I have is fantastic. I'll post the inferior audio quality, but earlier version of this same song:

*Audio was left untouched as the quality is superb*
*Found a rare photo of Sinatra window shopping and decided to upscale it to bring out prominent details in the face, objects, clothing, and reflection. This also provided the added benefit of hearing the music at the highest quality available.*
