Spoken Word

Frank Sinatra, known as "The Voice," was a highly successful US singer and actor with Italian origins. Born on December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey, he began his musical career in the swing era and became a solo artist after signing with Columbia Records in March 1943. Despite being dropped by the label in June '52, Sinatra's talent led him to sign a seven-year recording contract with Capitol Records in 1953. He later founded his own record label, Reprise Records, and toured internationally. Sinatra was also associated with the Rat Pack and had close ties to President John F. Kennedy.
Sinatra had three children from his first marriage to Nancy Barbato: Nancy Sinatra (singer/artist), Frank Sinatra Jr. (musician), and Tina Sinatra (TV producer). He went on to marry actresses Ava Gardner (1951-1957) and Mia Farrow (1966-1968), before marrying model/showgirl Barbara Marx in 1976.
With a rich vocal style that captivated audiences worldwide, Frank Sinatra's music continues to be celebrated today. His influence can be heard in artists such as Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., and many others.

when sinatra teams up with conductor/arranger nelson riddle, you know the results are bound to swing, and swinging is what this brash, jazzy and very upbeat album is all about. though the chairman has staked his claim as the preeminent saloon singer, telling tale after tragic tale of love gone awry, this album represents the sunny side of sinatra. he is bold and energetic here. his undeniably authoritative readings of songs like "i've got you under my skin" and "you make me feel so young" make them into standards, no matter who has sung them before. riddle's orchestrations are subtle but powerful, and swingin' lovers finds sinatra's voice bouncing off punchy horn stabs and floating gently along sweet rivers of woodwinds. one of the most impressive aspects of sinatra's talent is his control over the tone and shape of his voice. his singing is expansive and fluid-sounding, but it's plain that every atom of that sound is crafted with the utmost precision. sinatra's depth of musical understanding makes his delivery of even light-hearted songs like "anything goes" and "makin' whoopee" cut as deeply as his most romantic ballad.
