Sinatra’s ‘My Favorite Valentine’
I am sure you will agree with me when I say Frank Sinatra’s songs are synonymous with love songs. A true Sinatra fan, I am sure, has his or her very favorite Sinatra love song.
What a better way to say “I love you” than with a Frank Sinatra song. Though, some of Sinatra songs are torch songs with love lost – angst.
“Look to Your Heart” is the third collection album of Frank Sinatra singles… Read the rest

Sinatra Gets You Under His Skin
Reprise Records wanted to match the Frank Sinatra’s success at Columbia Records as well as Capitol Records. The goal was to create a successful issue of compilations from Sinatra’s hit songs. For obvious reasons, the album would be a hit – actually the album sold very well. “Sinatra’s Sinatra” was an attempt to compile formerly released 12 songs and re-recorded them for a 1963 release.

Once again, Sinatra teams up with Nelson Riddle, who arranges and conducts a powerful yet subtle swinging album that is upbeat, jazzy and brash. As you listen to the album, you can’t help but notice Sinatra bounces off the hard-hitting horns while at the same time floats… Read the rest

My One and Only Sinatra
Frank Sinatra fans can’t help but take a look and listen to 1956 Capitol Records release of “This is Sinatra!” because the album contains both Frank Sinatra B-sides and singles.
Sinatra joined up with arranger and conductor Nelson Riddle. Riddle is known for being a long-time collaborator, and he orchestrated some of Sinatra’s greatest tracks, but never won a Grammy with him.

Sinatra Records with the Best in ‘Duets’
Capitol Records released “Duets” in 1993 with a wonderful marketing strategy. The album was produced by Rhil Ramone and musically directed by Patrick Williams. The album obviously was recorded toward the end of Frank Sinatra’s distinguished career.
The recording contains duets teaming Sinatra with other guest singers who are stars in their own right. Sinatra individually picked the artists of different styles and genre. It was marketed as “The Recording Event of The Decade”… Read the rest
