Answer
Strangers in the Night
Which Sinatra album's title track won the 1967 Grammy for Record of the Year? Strangers in the Night is the correct answer.
The album followed Sinatra's 1966 recording of its title song, which became one of his biggest commercial successes. The song was composed by Bert Kaempfert, with English lyrics by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder. It had first appeared as an instrumental theme connected with the film A Man Could Get Killed.
At the 1967 Grammy Awards, Sinatra's recording won both Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The arrangement also earned recognition for Ernie Freeman, while the album's engineering received a separate Grammy. Sinatra additionally won Album of the Year for A Man and His Music that evening.
A common mix-up is confusing the album award with the song's other Grammy wins. The title track—not Summer Wind or another song from the LP—was the Record of the Year winner. The album became Sinatra's fifth and final U.S. pop album to reach number one.
