Your Sunday Sinatra: ?The Coffee Song? - Tv Food and Drink

?You date a girl and find out later? She smells just like a percolator? Her perfume was made right on the grill? Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil ?

Released in March, 1961, Ring-a-Ding-Ding was Frank Sinatra?s first album on the Reprise label, founded by Sinatra himself one year before in an effort to allow himself more creative recording freedom after breaking with Capitol.

Solely in charge of album production for the very first time, Sinatra delivered a parade of upbeat swing numbers, without the assistance of conductors/arrangers Nelson Riddle and Billy May, who were both still under contract at Capitol. Stepping in was Johnny Mandel, who later went on to co-write the Oscar-winning song ?The Shadow of Your Smile? from The Sandpiper, and ?Suicide is Painless,? better known as the theme from the the film and television show, M*A*S*H.

Be sure to listen for the cowbell coming from the percussion section, a must for any song looking deliver a South American vibe.
