….27 years ago today.
Somehow seems longer with way society has regressed.
He was great of course but my favs were Buddy Greco & Mel Torme.

‘September of my years’ is an album everyone should hear, but not ‘til you’re at least in your 40s |  |

Spot on there Nov77.
The track "It Was A Very Good Year" I can totally relate to being the age that I am! |  | | |

Sadly, the names and voices to which you refer, which are on LPs , EPs and 78s will all be consigned to council recycling depots.
My late mum has a number of such Greco, Laine, Torme, Sinatra, Bennett, Fitzgerald, Proby, Trenet, etc., all with songs and tunes that, sooner or later, no one will ever listen to again! As I say, sad! RIP Frank but, equally, lots of respect to Dean, his act and how he fooled all with his regular on stage glass of apple juice! | | | |

Ah, yes Old Bue Eyes himself. Adulterer, mob ties, violent, accused of rape and general nasty piece of work. A bit of an old fashioned P Diddy.
Love his music though, Sinatra not P Diddy. | | | |

I'm sure he loved his mother though. | |

Sinatra At The Sands is one of my favourite and most atmospheric live albums of all time....feel like you're in the audience |  |

In my opinion Frank's recording career consisted of three parts.
In the beginning he was with Columbia Records where he became a star. The recordings were good obviously but I think a little safe.
In the early 50's he moved to Capitol Records which is where the fun really started. Frank worked with arranger and conductor Nelson Riddle who was in my opinion a genius. Frank's Capitol Recordings had more energy and pizzaz.
Frank moved to Reprise Records in the early sixties and his recordings there were heavily orchestrated and lacked the sparkle of his work at Capitol.
I love The Great American Songbook but don't listen these days. For the life of me I can't understand why people would listen to the likes of Robbie Williams and Rod Stewart singing these great songs. You listen to Frank or Ella.
As a member of the Loft For Words insomnia club I might just listen to Frank at three in the morning soon, his Capitol Recordings of course. |  | | |
