Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back

Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back is a 1991 album by Brent Spiner, best known for his role as Data in the American television series '. The title is a parodic reference both to Frank Sinatra's Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back and the Data character. On the album, Spiner is backed by the orchestra from that series as he sings a number of old pop standards, mostly from the 1930s and 1940s. In the liner notes, he writes of Sinatra's "You Make Me Feel So Young":

:Sinatra at his awesome best. This song and dozens of others accompanied every dinner I ate between the ages of five and thirteen. My stepfather, an amateur saxophone player and a hell of a mambo dancer, had put together one of the all time great collections of popular music recordings anywhere. So, to my good fortune, we dined each night with the likes of Ol' Blue Eyes, Judy Garland, Nat "King" Cole, Rosemary Clooney, Louis Prima and Keely Smith and every other singer that ever performed on Capitol, Decca or R.C.A. records.

Spiner had help from a number of his colleages from Star Trek: TNG. Wendy Neuss, associate producer for the series, and Dennis McCarthy, who scored the music for many of the episodes, co-produced the album with Spiner. Several fellow cast members even joined him to sing "It's a Sin (To Tell a Lie)," gamely appearing under the group name of "The Sunspots."
