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.
Long-standing colleague, Nelson Riddle, who was also a very popular… Read the rest

‘Songs for Swingin’ Lovers!’ Spot Light on Carefree Sinatra
“Songs for Swingin’ Lovers!” was produced by one of Frank Sinatra’s long-time collaborators Voyle Gilmore. The fourth studio album was recorded in 1956 by Sinatra for Capitol Records.
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

Sinatra and Crosby Sing ’12 Songs of Christmas’
In 1964 Reprise Records brought to the recording studio Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Fred Waring and The Pennsylvanians to create a traditional Christmas album called “12 Songs of Christmas”.
A long list of arrangers and conductors makes for an impressive production with such notables as Roy Ringwald, Dick Reynolds, Jack Halloran, Nelson Riddle, Harry Simeon, Bob Thompson and Harry Betts.
Only five of the twelve tracks consist of vocals by Sinatra with Crosby… Read the rest

Top Ten Bad Sinatra Songs on Reprise
Like most people, I think I probably listen to Sinatra’s Capitol recordings far more than those of the Columbia and Reprise years. It isn’t that either of those eras are bad, it’s just that the Capitol material is of such uniformly high quality that it draws you in and holds your attention, time and time again.
Well, just to be sure I keep things mixed up a little bit, recently I’ve been trying to spend… Read the rest
Heart-Stopping Sinatra Songs
Yesterday a news item circulated that discussed how a survey conducted by a 17-year old student found that, under certain circumstances, an Apple iPod could cause a pacemaker to stop. Omitted from the article is the name of the artist whose song was playing when this happened: Frank Sinatra.
No word was given on which song it was that caused this, but an amusing article on the Minnesota Public Radio website speculates on… Read the rest
