"Ane for My Baby (and I More for the Road)" is a hit song written past Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer for the film musical The Heaven'south the Limit (1943) and first performed in the picture by Fred Astaire.

Groundwork [edit]

Harold Arlen described the song as "another typical Arlen tapeworm" – a "tapeworm" being the trade slang for whatever vocal which went over the conventional 32-bar length. He called it "a wandering song. [Lyricist] Johnny [Mercer] took it and wrote it exactly the style it fell. Not just is it long – 40-viii confined – but it also changes key. Johnny made it piece of work."^[1] In the stance of Arlen's biographer, Edward Jablonski, the song is "musically inevitable, rhythmically insistent, and in that mood of 'metropolitan melancholic dazzler' that writer John O'Hara finds in all of Arlen'due south music."^[i]

It was farther popularized past Frank Sinatra.^[2] Sinatra recorded the vocal several times during his career: in 1947 with Columbia Records, in 1954 for the pic soundtrack album Young at Heart, in 1958 for Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Solitary, in 1962 for Sinatra & Sextet: Live in Paris, in 1966 for Sinatra at the Sands and finally, in 1993, for his Duets album. At a Johnny Carson-hosted Rat Pack concert at the Kiel Opera House in St. Louis in 1965, Sammy Davis Jr., backed by Quincy Jones conducting the Count Basie Orchestra, performed the song imitating the styles of successively Fred Astaire, Nat King Cole, Baton Eckstine, Vaughn Monroe, Tony Bennett, Mel Tormé, Frankie Laine, Louis Armstrong, an inebriated Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis. Bennett, the terminal surviving of those imitated, continued to perform the vocal until his retirement in 2021 at the age of 95. During his final concert performances, at Radio City Music Hall, Bennett's operation of 'One For My Baby' was accounted a "highlight of his set" that "went from daring [due to the circumstances] to sublime".^[iii]
