Come Fly with Me
Jimmy Van Heusen & Sammy Cahn • 1958
The title song for Sinatra’s 1958 album of the same name, this jet-age fantasy became one of his most iconic recordings — a perfect marriage of Cahn’s breezy wanderlust lyric and Van Heusen’s soaring melody. It captured the excitement of commercial aviation at the dawn of the jet era.
Sinatra performed it as an opener throughout his career, and Michael Bublé’s 2003 recording on his debut album introduced the song to a whole new audience, helping spark a renewed mainstream interest in the Great American Songbook.
