In 1957, Gerry Matthews recorded an song titled "Witchcraft" that was issued on the LP of the revue "Take Five." This number, however, bears no resemblance to the song by Leigh and Coleman. Frank Sinatra therefore takes the honours for having recorded the first vocal version, which he did on 20 May, 1957. The recording was released as a single on Capitol 17069.
Elvis sang this number on the Frank Sinatra TV show "Welcome Home, Elvis" as Frank sang along with "Love Me Tender."
