Witchcraft is a popular jazz standard composed in 1957 by Cy Coleman with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh. It became widely known when Frank Sinatra recorded it for Capitol, released as a single on December 23, 1957 with the B-side Tell Her You Love Her, and later included on the compilation All the Way (1961). The track blends swing and traditional pop and runs about 2 minutes and 54 seconds. Sinatra re recorded Witchcraft in 1963 for Sinatra's Sinatra and again as a duet with Anita Baker for Duets in 1993. It peaked at number 6 on the US Hot 100 and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks. The song has been covered by many artists including Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Bill Evans, and Bing Crosby, and has appeared in films and TV shows such as Hocus Pocus and Fifty Shades of Grey. The composition is noted for its sophisticated harmony and a 40-bar ABCDA form.
