Did Sinatra ever sing this song?

My boyfriend and I were having an argument about the song "Somewhere Beyond the Sea". I was always under the impression that it was Frank Sinatra, he says Frank never sang it and that it was Bobby Darin. Now I know that Darin did sing it, but does anyone know if Frank Sinatra ever did a recording/version of it?

Thanks for any info. you could send my way!

It's in a "Sinatra" style but Sinatra never sang it that I'm aware of.

I would agree that Frank Sinatra never sang this song. There is a commercial on TV that has this song in it, but it isn't Sinatra that is singing. It is Nat King Cole's voice.

He most certainly did! I can't recall the album right now but I do remember the closing lines were something like:

"No more sailin'
So long salin'
Byebye sailin'"
