*Excact amount of recorded songs in this and following session is unknown to me. Usually he recorded 4 songs in one session. Looking at the Matrix no. this could well be a 2-day session with the next session.
** Uncertain about the location. Some sources say that Fats recorded in New York or Las Vegas. Fats told Jos A. that he added all his Reprise vocals in Los Angeles (Hollywood). It is possible that the backing-tracks were recorded in either New York or Las Vegas.

Fats' first release on Sinatra's Reprise failed to chart.
Listen to the instrumental piano-break. Sounds familiar?
