About What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? is a wonderful song written by Frank Loesser.  Loesser is best know for writing Broadway musicals like Guys and Dolls, but this song (written in 1947) was a standalone song.

What Are You Doing New Years eve was first recorded by Margaret Whiting, but my favorite version of it is Dave Frishberg’s.
