My Kind of Town
Count Basie’s earliest release of “My Kind of Town” on file came out in 1965. Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn are credited as its writers. The earliest release on file is Frank Sinatra’s, from 1964, along with Marvin Gaye’s. Also recorded by Barry Manilow (released 1998), Frankie Randall (released 1998) and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (released 2014), among 78 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Sinatra had it on record first in this pile, Count Basie put out his take a year later, and Springsteen and the E Street Band were still reaching for it in 2014. That is a Cahn and Van Heusen tune with a long tail, so start with Basie.
Credited writers: Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn.
Earliest release on file: Frank Sinatra, 1964, the same year as Marvin Gaye.
