DO YOU KNOW SINATRA?
Do you know Sinatra? We're not talking about the man and his personal life here. No we're talking about the music. The music of Frank Sinatra? Sure, if you're a fan, you know My Way, Strangers in The Night, New York New York, That's Life, and The Summer Wind. You know the hits, and some others, but do you know Sinatra greatest most beautiful music of all? Maybe yes/ Maybe not?
Frank Sinatra recorded more than 1,200 songs during his 54 year career, and in all likelihood you haven't heard them all. Most of us haven't, even myself who I feel that I know more than most, when it comes to the music, and the recordings of of one Francis Albert Sinatra, The Greatest Singer of The 20th Century, and beyond. Beyond? Yes beyond, for as of now in 2026, a quarter century into the 21st Century, the music of Frank Sinatra who passed away almost 40 years ago, his music is hugely relevant, and 100 of millions of him, and of some of his music.
Yes, some know a bit of Mr. Sinatra's music, maybe a couple handfuls of hits, and that's about it? Others, who consider themselves fans, they know more. And those who feel they are more of a super fan, and think they know quite a lot of the mans music, but maybe not. There are all different degrees of what one might know. I myself, who has loved the music of Frank Sinatra for just about 60 years now, I've seen Sinatra perform live 7 times, and have about 40 of the mans albums, and I consider myself a sort of Super Fan as they say, and feel I know a good bit about the man and his music. But even I who in all likelihood knows more than probably 9o or 95% of his fans, I'm still learning more. All of a sudden on any given day, I might hear a Sinatra recording that I've never heard before. Yes, once in a while but not that often.
Anyway, speaking of the people who believe they are great fans, and feel they know his music, I'm afraid many may not know Frank Sinatra's "Best Stuff." I'm talking about Sinatra's greatest of all "Love Songs." Songs like : All My Tomorrows, You & Me, You Will Be My Music, Let Me Try Again, and a few others. These songs are Mr. Sinatra's most beautiful, loving, and passionate songs. Sung with the most real feeling that only Sinatra could convey. So poignant and beautiful, they (Sinatra Love Songs) can make you cry. "I have." Yes I have, listening to Frank Sinatra sing a song like "All My Tomorrows," and I think of a great love, and how I had yearned to love her, as Sinatra states in the song, I can get all choked up, and on the verge of crying. I'm not ashamed to admit. This is what a great singer Frank Sinatra was. His music conveyed such genuine feelings. Feelings of love, lost love, heart ache, and bittersweet romance, that when listening to one of these songs, you feel it too, and it brings out strong emotions. Strong enough to choke you up, and perhaps shed a tear.
If you haven't heard these songs, and you say you're a great fan of Sinatra. Now is the time. You absolutely must listen and become aware of these beautiful Love Songs. The Greatest Sinatra songs of all. They're listed below.
PS .. Yes, we were talking about Frank Sinatra, and how beautifully he sang. And the complete package of these beautiful love songs, were Sinatra singing over beautifully compose music, beautifully executed by the most wonderful orchestras, which Sinatra demanded, whether recording, or playing live, Frank Sinatra was always backed by the World Best Musicians and orchestras, that's what completed these wonderful packages - beautiful lyrics & music, sung by Sinatra, backed by the most perfect bands.
Basta !!!
