So someone thought of a crazy idea of getting the young popular people of today to do Frank Sinatra covers. I am really up in the air about this. While some people I bet will absolutely do amazing covers, I bet some will ruin some of the songs. This is the first I've heard from the album and I am wondering who else will be on it. Definately Michael Buble and if not your freggin stupid times 100...

Sooner or later, you're bound to be disappointed.You'll eagerly await the release date of a new album by one of your favorite artists, only to discover that it's just...not so hot. Oh, you'll give it a chance, because you've already made a financial investment in the music and an emotional investment in being a fan of the artist, but ultimately you'll file it away and pretend not to notice.

Well, here it is. The official start of the most expensive task of my life. One hundred CD's. All bought. All listened. Here's the first. Number one hundred on Rolling Stone's hallowed (if a bit hapless) list is the very excellent In the Wee Small Hours, by Mr. Sinatra. I'm not gonna lie, this is an amazing album. It was released in 1955, only a few years after the introduction of the LP ...

Believe it or not, Frank Sinatra - the king of crooners, the Chairman of the Board, perhaps the greatest American pop singer of the 20th century - made his share of duff recordings. Few in number for sure, but there's definitely the whiff of toxicity to that handful of missteps/clinkers.Since it's the first St. Patrick's Day to fall on a Toxic Tuesday, you might think that I'd spend a post deri...

He was involved in an affair with Ava Gardner which the studio chiefs at MGM film studios wanted to break up due to Sinatra's ugly brawls with the tabloid press and his pos...

"Strangers in the Night," both the album and the song garnered two Grammies for Frank Sinatra in 1966. The album also marked the last time both Sinatra and his long-time arranger Nelson Riddle would work on an album together. The entire album was recorded April 11 through May 16, 1966 and was an important bridge into the finale of Sinatra's second wave of popularity (the third wave came after h...

If there is one song associated with Frank Sinatra, it would have to be "Summer Wind," originally a popular German song written in 1964 by Heinz Meier, Hans Bradtke, and Johnny Mercer (who wrote the English language lyrics). The lyrics are anything but about how nice the summer winds in Italy are-rather it evokes not only the temporary sirocco winds but also the temporary love of a summer love....
