Today is Franks Birthday..99 years ago. Im a HUGE Sinatra fan, so I just HAD to figure a tie-in so I can post it here on Apple :-) Frank Sinatras birthday song The very first song in the Apple Records catalogue was a special private recording by Frank Sinatra. In 1968, as a favour to Starr, Sinatra recorded a special version of his previously released song, The Lady Is a Tramp, for her birthday. Sammy Cahn re-wrote the lyrics, and personalised them: She married Ringo, and she could have had Paul/Thats why the lady is a champ. Sinatras recording was pressed as a single in Los Angeles, and notated as Apple 1. (Note: Hey Jude had been previously released as a single, but was not given an Apple Records catalogue number, instead appearing sequentially in the Parlophone and Capitol catalogues.) Starr presented his wife with the single on her 22nd birthday, 4 August 1968. Only a few copies were pressed before the master tape was destroyed; the song is still in demand by record collectors. A poor quality copy of the song began circulating in collector circles, and is now available on several bootleg albums. Starr and his wife attended a Sinatra concert in London, on 8 May 1970 https://youtube/watch?v=QyyF8_cq7SM
