Many moons ago there was a television program called "Playboy's Penthouse" and this is where Cy Coleman (Seymour Kaufman) sat a the piano and sang "Witchcraft" (Cy Coleman - Carolyn Leigh). When he was six years old Cy was a child prodigy who gave a piano recital at Carnegie Hall!
Frank Sinatra owned almost everything he sang and "Witchcraft" is no exception. The single peaked at number six on Billboard in 1957 just as rock and roll was ruling radio and records. Wikipedia: "At the 1st Grammy Awards, Frank Sinatra was nominated for six Grammy awards, with Sinatra's recording of "Witchcraft" being nominated for the Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and Nelson Riddle's arrangement nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement. Sinatra had two albums nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and won the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package."
