Frank Sinatra recording


Frank Sinatra's August 31, 1939[5] recording of the song, accompanied by Harry James and his Orchestra was a huge hit in 1943, when it was reissued by Columbia Records during the 1942-44 musicians' strike.[6] The record topped the Billboard charts in 1943 during a 21-week stay and sold over a million copies.[7] On the Harlem Hit Parade chart, "All or Nothing at All" went to number eight.[8]



A rendition of the song is used and sung by B.O. Skunk disguised as Sinatra in Tex Avery's 1948 animated cartoon, Little 'Tinker.

The "all for nothing at all" segment in Murders, from the 2012 album Hawaii: Part II, is in reference to this song.
