And "There's a Flaw in my Flue" (at least that one was done as a gag, only 
issued years later on CD). And "That's Life". and "Strangers in the Night" 
which could have been a good record if someone had said "Frankie, you totally 
missed that key change, it sounds like a tape stretch, let's do it over".

Well before it..he was singing it at the Hollywood Bowl as well, and in a white 
suit in "Till The Clouds Roll By". No Mitch anywhere on the premises.
