Out of all of his albums and songs i figured his greatest hits would be fitting to embroidery the cover of, happy anniversary to this fantastic compilation of songs.

This is 150k stitches on 10oz duck canvas framed at 12” to the scale of a physical record

Sharing this for Sinatra admirers and vintage culture enthusiasts — a memorable tribute piece connected to Apple’s classic “Think Different” era.

Hey all.

As I am fast approaching my fifty-fifth year, I find myself becoming a bigger and bigger fan of The Chairman of the Board.

And where a couple of collections were once able to satiate my listening needs, I am really wanting to build my Sinatra albums collection. And quite honestly, it’s a little daunting, as Frank was so prolific over the decades.

I’m both a fan of his film work and his music. I’ve got a pretty good start on his movies.

My blu-ray collection:

Anchors Aweigh
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
On the Town
From Here to Eternity
Ocean’s 11
Guys and Dolls
Pal Joey
The Manchurian Candidate
Robin and the Seven Hoods

But my album collection is in its relative infancy.

I have the following CDs:

In the Wee Small Hours
Songs For Swingin’ Lovers!
Come Fly With Me
Only the Lonely
Sinatra at the Sands With Count Basie + Orchestra

Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years
Sinatra 80th: All the Best

The two collections did a pretty good job of covering many of Frank’s best known songs. And while we live in the era of downloads and streams, I’ve found that the devoted fan is often rewarded with some of the lesser known gems that can only be found when listening to an entire album, start to finish, as the artist intended.

Maybe I’m approaching dinosaur status, but I still revel in lying on my back, putting on my headphones, pressing “play”, and just losing myself in the music.

So this isn’t so much a straightforward question as it is a discussion. I’m looking to benefit from all your knowledge.

What albums would you all suggest that I pick up next, and why? What are your favorites? Which resonate with you on a personal level?

Thank you all in advance for helping me to find the next steps on my journey!

Bill

I associate Frank Sinatra with fedora hats, but did he ever wore them in a concert?

I found this at my local thrift store and I love this album, its signed with 9/67 and says SF CA 3rd copy on the front, idk if its real or not. It also has like a T by the front

Found this Hallmark CD in a thrift store and bought it for like 2$, anyone know what’s on it? Don’t own a CD player and i can’t find it anywhere online the internet either.

Released today on the Sinatra Youtube!!
