Jackson Taylor offers this clip from Sinatra's 75th birthday tribute featuring such singers from FS's youth as Kay Starr (from the Charlie Barnett band), Helen Forrest (from the Harry James band), and Martha Tilton (from Benny Goodman band). The ladies from the big bands can still bring it! That's Helen Forrest in army uniform on the left.
