Originally released on Capitol Records in July 1960, the Nice n Easy album topped the charts at #1 for nine weeks. The album was nominated for multiple Grammys, including Album of the Year, Best Male Vocal Performance, and Best Arrangement (Nelson Riddle). Since its original release, Sinatras body of work still resonates with fans and critics today. By curating his albums with songs that told a story he wanted to tell, and by singing each word as if he wrote it, Sinatra introduced a level of personal expression to the recording process that reached literary heights. The New Yorker Recorded during the Nelson Riddle session at the Capitol Studios, Room A, The Nearness of You was initially intended to be the title track of the planned album. Once Nice n Easy was delivered, the album title changed, and the track did not appear on the original LP.
