Hello Bluzgtr. You have set the bar very high and reached above it.
This fits the genre and era very well.
Congrats to you and the vocalist. Rob

Hello, Bluzgtr
An attempt to write in the style of "The Rat Pack," Sammy Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Joey Bishop.
Yes, it was done very well and successfully.
This tune reminds me of "Engel Eyes" of Sinatra.
As floyd said, Dave has a great voice for the style.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Floyd said all the things I was thinking! Great work! Thanks, Torrey
This song fits the era so well and has such a smooth sound to it! I really enjoyed this, and the vocals were fantastic.
Thanks for sharing!
We listen to a zillion genres and this is one that is rarely heard on the forum. You gotta have a great vocalist and production chops to take on a project like this and you pulled it off...very well!
We enjoyed it.

What a nice compliment. I've never heard that phrase before, and I like it.
About a half-century ago, I was living in Los Angeles. I met two men from the Australian television industry. They used to sail up to L.A every 6 months to buy programming. They had a keg of Australian beer mounted in the galley. That was when I learned that American beer was a wimpy, pallid product.
Somewhere in my archives is one I wrote called "Funky Chicken." Yours is better.
