Dear Bert,
Your fellow Canadian, Ric Giorgi, beat me to it.
So all that is left to do is give the session details I have on file:

Recorded for Reprise on 16th February 1977 in New York.
Frank Sinatra, ldr/vcl; 				Reprise 45: 1386
	Night And Day  (Cole Porter)
     	All Or Nothing At All  (Arthur Altman, Jack Lawrence) 	unissued
Frank Sinatra, ldr/vcl; Joe Beck, cond; Charles Calello, arr.	
	Everybody Ought To Be In Love  (Paul Anka) 			Reprise 45: 1386
Note: The orchestral tracks were recorded the day before on 15th 
February 1977.

Items from this session have probably been released on CD by now, 
although I couldn't find them in a quick search.
They are certainly on a 20-CD set issued in Germany in 1995 - 'Frank 
Sinatra. The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings' .
Kind regards,
Bill.
