Frank Sinatra recording

In 1957, a recording of "All the Way" was made famous by Frank Sinatra. [2] It was introduced in the film The Joker Is Wild . [1] Sinatra's recording is the best-selling version of the song. Aside from this song, he also sang "Chicago (That Toddlin' Town)" for the film. It wound up as the flipside of "All the Way" when Capitol Records released the song as a single. The single reached No. 15 in sales and No. 2 in airplay on the Billboard charts. [3] The song peaked at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. [1] The song in its orchestral arrangement by Nelson Riddle received the 1957 Academy Award for Best Original Song. [1] Sinatra rerecorded the song, with a Nelson Riddle arrangement, for his 1963 album Sinatra's Sinatra .
