"My Kind of Town" is a song written and composed by Jimmy Van Heusen and
Sammy Cahn for the 1964 musical "Robin and the Seven Hoods," starring
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. Frank Sinatra recorded
several versions of the song, which have appeared on many of his albums.
The lyrics, which praise the city of Chicago for its people and
institutions, repeat the title phrase several times, usually in a line
that says, "My kind of town, Chicago is." It was nominated for an
Academy Award for Best Original Song but lost to "Chim Chim Cher-ee"
from Mary Poppins.
