Sinatra's friend and frequent arranger Nelson Riddle introduced him to the song. "Nelson told me he had a song that had been floating around Vine Street [Capitol Records] and other companies for weeks or months," he recalled in Frank Sinatra: An American Legend. "'I think it's a good song,' Nelson said, 'but nobody wants to do it.' I didn't even ask him if I could hear it. I just said let's do it, and it turned out to be 'Young at Heart.' We did a single, and it was a big hit."

The single was so successful on the pop charts, peaking at #2, that the film Sinatra was working on with Doris Day was renamed Young at Heart. The song plays during the opening and closing credits.

With Frank Sinatra & Doris Day starring, the film is surprisingly dark.

After they get married, he attempts suicide !

No laughs there...
