That's Life, 2021
Written by Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon
I think it's fair to say that Frank Sinatra owns this song. Willie doesn't exactly make it his own, but he has the skill of effortlessly inhabiting any song of any genre and making it fit. As always, his vocal is impeccable, but I'm not sure I care for the arrangement. It's brash and melodramatic, which is fine by itself, but juxtaposed with Willie's laid-pack singing style, it feels odd. It's all Rat Pack-style big brass stabs and '60s-era orchestral stings, and the result is less intimate and authentic than I would have wished.
