20th Century Masterworks

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.

Constructed around a light-hearted travel theme, Come Fly With Me, Frank Sinatra's first project with arranger Billy May, was a breezy change of pace from the somber Where Are You. From the first swinging notes of Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen's "Come Fly With Me" -- which is written at Sinatra's request -- it's clear that the music on the collection is intended to be fun. Over the course of the album, Sinatra and May travel around the world in song, performing standards like "Moonlight in Vermont" and "April in Paris," as well as humorous tunes like "Isle of Capri" and "On the Road to Mandalay." May's signature bold, brassy arrangements give these songs a playful, carefree, nearly sarcastic feel, but never is the approach less than affectionate. In fact, Come Fly With Me is filled with varying moods and textures, as it moves from boisterous swing numbers to romantic ballads, and hitting any number of emotions in between. There may be greater albums in Sinatra's catalog, but few are quite as fun as Come Fly With Me.
