I did a post on Sinatra in 1957 in my personal music and pictures blog... Late Night Coffee Shops: The Chairman of the Board. Enjoy the clip.

See ya

What a guy. Frank Sinatra. His career was dead in 1952. Everything changed fast. Don Corleone got him, a part, in a movie.

I can never get enough Sinatra. Sirius has the sirius sinatra channel now.

I didn't appreciate his voice until I was older. Just thought it was my "parents" music. To be so composed and brave enough to be the lead instrument is a testament to Frankie's talents. The greats will live forever.

Thanks for the treat Steve.

Thanks Bigshot, "Angel Eyes" is one of my all time favorites.

And completely turned it around in 1953 when he signed with Capitol. That led to a string of brilliant concept albums paired with the likes of Nelson Riddle, Billy May, and Gordon Jenkins. Songs for Swingin' Lovers! is one of my favorite albums, from any artist.

I didn't start listening to Sinatra until I was in my 30s. Now I have all of his Capitol records on vinyl and most of his Reprise sides as well. Now that I am pushing 50, September of My Years has taken on a special significance for me.

Thanks for the clip Steve.
