[Dixielandjazz] Fight Fight Fight

[Robert Newman]

Steve, that's the SINATRA AT THE SANDS two-LP album, 1965, with the Basie 
band conducted by Quincy Jones.   The number is I'VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU and 
you're right, it's funny as hell -- in fact so funny Sinatra breaks out 
laughing with the audience.   I can send an mp3 of that track but I guess 
that's not allowed on the DJML.
