The song is simple, instantly memorable, and it represented “new beginnings” to two of the people most identified with it. When a youngster named Carolyn Leigh became staff lyricist with a New York publishing company, she helped write hundreds of songs before achieving any real success. In 1953, a melody by composer Johnny Richards crossed her desk, and she created a thoughtful, philosophical lyric. The new song was given to several singers who initially turned it down. But one singer didn’t: Formerly the most popular singer of his generation, Frank Sinatra was looking for some “new beginnings” himself in the early 50s. With this new song, his stalled singing career was once again boosted in to High Gear, and Carolyn Leigh went on to write many more important standards, including WITCHCRAFT and HEY LOOK ME OVER. The new song, “Young At Heart”, provided the New Beginnings for both of them. Here’s Minnesota’s Voice Maud Hixson:
