’65: The Singer Today — Sinatra
“Sinatra ’65: The Singer Today” is a further attempt to create a pop-connection in 1965 by Frank Sinatra from Reprise Records. Concerning the title one might speculate that maybe or maybe not it’s a parody on the Beatles ’65 released months before at Capitol Records. Your guess is as good as mine.

All the Way to The Joker is Wild
