Frank Sinatra's version was published in 1957 by Maraville Music Corporation. The music was written by Jimmy Van Heusen with lyrics by Sammy Cahn. It was introduced in the movie "The Joker Is Wild." Sinatra also had the best-selling recorded version of the song. Aside from this song, he also sang Chicago (That Toddlin' Town) for the movie. It wound up as the flipside of "All The Way" when Capitol Records released the song as a single. The single reached #15 in sales, #2 in airplay, and briefly ranked at #2 in the top 100 songs.

The song received the 1957 Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Translations

Mina performed "Si, amor", the Italian version of the song in "Canzonissima", the 1968 Italian Broadcasting Service series of variety nights.

Cover versions

Céline Dion recorded "All the Way" as a duet with Sinatra (using the vocals from his 1963 Reprise recording) on her 1999 album "All the Way… A Decade of Song" and also performed the song in virtual duet in her Las Vegas show, A New Day.... This version of the song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Collaboration.

This song was all covered by Richard Hell & the Voidoids as a track on their first album "Blank Generation" but was not used until the album was re-printed in the late 1990s.
