Frank Sinatra – I Couldn’t Sleep A Wink Last Night（1944）
with chorus
Frank’s songs in the film also included “A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening” and “The Music Stopped.”
Due to the 1942-44 strike against the record industry （aka “The Recording Ban”） by the American Federation of Musicians, no musical instruments could be utilized in the production of new commercial recordings by those companies which had not yet settled with the union, which included Columbia at the time of this recording. Thus, only a vocal group is heard accompanying Sinatra.
Movie: “Higher And Higher” （RKO）, starring Michele Morgan, Jack Haley, Frank Sinatra, Leon Errol, and Marcy McGuire.
