"Strangers In The Night" #1 7/2/1966

Doo bee doo bee dooooo...yes, Frank really did forget the lyrics at the end. Although this was his first #1 record since 1955, Sinatra absolutely HATED it, saying it was "a piece of ****" and "the worst ****ing song I ever heard." Members of the Wrecking Crew were on the session, including Hal Blaine on drums, Chuck Berghofer (who played that sliding bass intro on daughter Nancy's "Boots..."), plus Tommy Tedesco and Glen Campbell on guitar. Glen was in awe of the moment, a country boy from Delight, Arkansas playing on a Frank Sinatra record.
