"Full Moon And Empty Arms"

OK, more pop songs based on the classics: Tin Pan Alley composers Ted Mossman and Buddy Kaye wrote this 1945 ballad based upon the third movement (allegro scherzando) of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C-minor, Op. 18. Popularized that same year by Frank Sinatra. Beautiful rendition by the Platters.

Yesterday's answer: "Tonight We Love". How can you go wrong with ol' Pyotr Ilyich?! http://www.youtube.com/wat​ch?v=3gbePjrkIiM
