On the Street Where You Live, 1964
Written by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim
This song is from West Side Story. I haven't heard the original, so I can't compare it. I like Damone's suave baritone, which makes the song sound confident and brisk rather than uneasily hopeful, as the lyrics might suggest. I like the sprightly tempo and how it quickens and slows between verses. It's got a classy, warm vibe, a showcase big band song.
