As a kid in a suburb of Detroit back in the 60s.  WXYZ (ABC) radio DJ (Lee Alan - "On the Horn") would sign off via this song.  My Mother bought me a new "transistor" radio and I would fall asleep to this beloved classic every night.  Years later...when I was a much older adult, my doorbell rang.  Opening the door, I was surprised to find my Dad.  He and Mother wanted to give me a surprise....A "FRANK" album complete with this song.  I still have that record, but sadly no longer my parents.  This one is dedicated to my beloved parents...Sam & Lorraine - Forever in My Heart.

The best of the best. Nothing gets close to Sinatra.

I am constantly thrilled and amazed at the breadth and depth of Ira Gershwin's lyrics.   Urbane, witty, graceful--sure!  But beyond the clever references, there is real loss eating that singer's heart!  And, any man who can craft "The Man That Got Away" doth comprehend WOMAN.

This is so perfect. His voice is amazing.

God Frank could even swing on the ballads.
In my opnion the best version by the greatest popular vocalist of all times.

[saintcruzin]

It's amazing how many songs fit Sinatra. You feel like it happened to him...great recording, peak Frank.

A wonderful song, brilliantly interpreted by my favourite singer.

This is a great example of how the verse sets the theme, most of these verses are left out, Frank had such class, no cutting straight to the chase for him.

Ira Gershwin was a master of novel rhymes and neologisms: "With queens I've a la carted, but can't get

Since this is my all time favorite big band tune I was surprised that I had never heard this version till now. Terrific!

FRANK SINATRA! The song "I can't get Started" was recorded by Frank in 1959. It is on his album "No One Cares."It is 54 years later now. I found myself humming the song in my kitchen. I quickly downloaded it onto my iPhone and located it here on YouTube! This song is brilliantly sung by Frank, as only he could sing a ballad of this high quality.

Quite simply he was and is the best there ever was

Just sat and listened to Franks rendition. Great!!!💟💟

[MJLeger-yjww]

This is my favorite version of this great old song, FS sings it slow and seriously, just what is required for the lyric of this tune.  And I love his "No One Cares" album, of the three he calls "The suicide albums!"  Where are You,   and "Only the Lonely" and I would add another album to those, "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning."  My 4 favorites!

Nelson Riddle and the orchestra. Beautiful. Irreplaceable.

Beautiful treatment of a touching song; there have been endless lyrics written for this melody and all of them clever; of all people, Judy Collins has an exceptional arrangement of "I Can't Get Started"

[MsBoatlady]

how much better can you get than that !!

[JoeGuerra]

The Al Hirt/Andy Williams version is awesome. I also like the slower Billie Holiday one. Such a great song by some many great singers. You can't go wrong with any of them.

How does one thank you for putting most of her life history in music up on a screen with such elegance. Many were my parents' but I have amassed a fair collection of my own... Frank's original album art -- whether Columbia, Capitol, or Reprise. Oh, and thanks for the music. The very best.
