Highlights
Of the songs of the album, two are particularly notable. The song "All The Sad Young Men" has become a popular standard, having been recorded numerous times by everyone from Anita O'Day to Shirley Bassey. Mathis sang the theme song to the 1959 film The Best of Everything. The film told the story of young hopefuls in the publishing world, and starred Hope Lange, Stephen Boyd, Suzy Parker, Diane Baker, Louis Jourdan, and Joan Crawford.
