That Old Feeling is a popular jazz and pop standard about nostalgia - written with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Lew Brown, published in 1937. It first appeared in Walter Wanger’s Vogues of 1938 (released in 1937) and was sung in the film by Virginia Verrill, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song in 1937. The first big hit came from Lennie Hayton and His Orchestra with a vocal by Paul Barry, and Shep Fields and His Rippling Rhythm Orchestra spent fourteen weeks on the charts that year, four at number one - Jan Garber also charted with a version. Over the years it has been recorded by many artists - Frank Sinatra on the 1960 album Nice ’n Easy, Patti Page and Frankie Laine in the mid-1950s, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, and Diana Krall among others. The tune has appeared in films such as Body Heat (1981) and inspired the title of the 1997 movie That Old Feeling.
