Frank Sinatra (vocalist), steel guitar, guitar, bass, drums ... Note: Although it has been indicated that "Sunflower" was recorded with nonunion musicians (as a result of the recording ban of 1948), the December 25, 1948 issue of "Billboard" magazine (in the article "Diskers Cut PostBan Wax Cautiously") reported that "Sunflower" and "Once In Love With Amy" were among the first Columbia recordings made after the strike had ended. Some sources attribute this recording to December 15, 1948.
