Van Heusen und Cahn schrieben „My Kind of Town“ für den Film Sieben gegen Chicago (Originaltitel: Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964), Regie: Gordon Douglas), mit Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis junior, Bing Crosby und Peter Falk in den Hauptrollen. Das Songwriter-Duo steuerte noch eine Reihe weiterer Lieder bei wie I Like to Lead When I Dance und Style. Der Song erhielt 1965 eine Oscar-Nominierung in der Kategorie Bester Song. Begleitet vom Nelson Riddle Orchestra, sang Sinatra My Kind of Town in dem Film als Tribut an seinen Freund, den Chicagoer Mafiaboss Sam Giancana. Sinatra nahm den Song in den folgenden Jahren in sein Repertoire auf und veröffentlichte ihn auf mehreren seiner LPs, wie A Man and His Music (1965) oder Sinatra at the Sands (1966). Der Liedtext preist die Stadt Chicago und wiederholt mehrmals die Phrase My Kind of Town, als wolle man sagen My kind of town, Chicago is. Die ersten Zeilen des Lieds lauten: Now this could only happen to a guy like meAnd only happen in a town like thisSo may I say to each of you most gratef’llyAs I throw each one of you a kiss. Frank Sinatra veröffentlichte den Song auf seinem Reprise-Label, gekoppelt mit seinem Erfolgstitel Strangers in the Night (R-23052) bzw. mit That’s Life (REP-0720). Coverversionen von My Kind of Town nahmen in den 1960er-Jahren u. a. Jack Jones, , Frankie Randall mit dem Marty Paich Orchestra, , Julie London, Count Basie, Dukes of Dixieland, Jackie Gleason und Larry Elgart auf. In späteren Jahren interpretierten auch Ruby Braff, Allan Vaché, Ray Anthony, Ralph Sharon, Biréli Lagrène und Harry Allen den Song.

"My Kind of Town" made a minor appearance on the U.S. pop charts, reaching #110 in 1964. It was the second of two charting songs about Chicago recorded by Sinatra. The other was "Chicago (That Toddlin' Town)" from 1957, which reached U.S. #84. Frank Sinatra recorded several versions which have appeared on many of his albums. Also, many artists have performed the song as a tribute to Sinatra in posthumous tribute albums. In addition, the song had been recorded by many other artists prior to Sinatra's death. The lyrics, which praise the city of Chicago for its people and institutions, repeat the title phrase several times, usually in a line that says "My kind of town, Chicago is".
