Frank Sinatra had been the biggest musical star of the 1940s, but the early 50s were very different. He could no longer fill the concert halls that had crowds of screaming bobbysoxers outside a few years earlier; his publicist and confidant, George Evans, had died in 1950; his public reputation was being shredded by the disintegration of his marriage to Nancy as he made it his mission to woo Ava Gardner. In its place as the opening track of side two of Come Dance With Me!, Saturday Nigh. s just a boisterous blast from someone who no longer has a partner to dance with at the weekends, but it’s also more than that.
The album was only released in the UK, and misses two of Sinatra's albums, however: A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra and Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color. The Girl Next Door" (Hugh Martin, Ralph Blane) – 2:39. They Can't Take That Away from Me" (George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin) – 1:59. Violets for Your Furs" (Tom Adair, Matt Dennis) – 3:07. Someone to Watch Over Me" (G. Gershwin, I. Gershwin) – 2:59.

In 1953, Ava Gardner, the love of Frank Sinatra’s life, had left him. One of Frank’s best friends, the composer Jimmy Van Heusen, was planning to take him out and get him laid, get his mind off of Ava, as if it had ever worked before. But when Jimmy went to pick him up, he found Frank in a bathtub, wrists slit, bleeding out.
