Ebb Tide

About this product

In 1953 British orchestra leader Frank Chacksfield topped the charts with his arrangement of the haunting Robert Maxwell-composed melody of this song. Once its Carl Sigman-penned lyric was completed, the covers came in a flood that has yet to subside. Vic Damone was first into the top 10 later that same year, followed by the under-appreciated Roy Hamilton with a #5 R&B smash for Epic the following year. In 1956, it was an essential element of the classic Nelson Riddle-arranged album Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely on Capitol. The Platters added it to their string of Mercury hits in 1960 and, in 1965, Phil Spector produced a majestic version by The Righteous Brothers, which peaked at #5 for his Philles label. "The whole wedding of the tune to the lyric (or, I should say, of the lyric to the tune) is the most natural, the best and the easiest I've ever written," said Sigman. - Courtesy Majorsongs
