"Nothing But the Best" is a song by Frank Sinatra. The music and the lyrics are the work of Johnny Rotella. It was recorded under Reprise Records.

This song was arranged by Neil Hefti with the songs recorded for Sinatra's 1962 LP Sinatra and Swingin' Brass. This song, however, was omitted from the album and was released later in an expanded CD version, featuring Sinatra's Hefti-arranged renditions of "Everybody's Twistin'" and "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me."

In 2008, a compilation album of the same name was released containing all the Reprise versions of the following songs:

Keith Wallin: @dutchy Thank you very much, Ed. I don't have the chops for imitating Sinatra, so I just use my own voice. You saying my voice reminds you of Dean's is very high praise, indeed. I am really glad you enjoyed my rendition of this FS song. Have a wonderful evening....:-)
