On which 1956 album did Frank Sinatra record 'I've Got You Under My Skin'?

The story behind the answer

Frank Sinatra recorded “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” for the 1956 album Songs for Swingin’ Lovers! The album was released by Capitol Records and became one of Sinatra’s best-known mid-1950s recordings.

The song itself was written by Cole Porter in 1936 and introduced by Virginia Bruce in the film Born to Dance. Sinatra had already performed it on his radio program in 1946, but his later studio version became definitive for many listeners. He recorded it with an arrangement by Nelson Riddle, whose bold orchestral writing helped turn the performance into a showcase for swing and vocal phrasing.

The recording features a celebrated slide-trombone solo by Milt Bernhart, along with a rhythm section and orchestra. Its driving arrangement contrasts with the more introspective mood of Sinatra’s previous album, In the Wee Small Hours.

A common mistake is choosing A Swingin’ Affair, another Sinatra album arranged by Riddle. “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” is associated specifically with Songs for Swingin’ Lovers!, released in 1956.
