One of my favorite songs by Ol' Blue Eyes.

Sinatra was brilliant in his choices of which songs to record.

During WWII, “Stars and Stripes” did a poll of the soldiers over their favorite singer.

It came down to Roy Acuff and Frank Sinatra. Acuff was the winner. My how times have changed.

Before vinyl records started getting popular again, I collected thousands of vinyl records at estate sales for pennies on the dollar. I’ve got multiple copies of pretty much everything he ever made. Some of those records have become my favorites. It truly is timeless. No wonder it is featured in so many romance movies.

He also had a fun detective radio show called, “Rocky Fortune”. Also great stuff.

"... the best singer of the best songs by the best writers in the best arrangements." Nelson Riddle (who made the arrangements for the Capitol recordings) is another underrated musical genius! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Riddle_discography T Y 4 Posting. PS.

I could never stomach the Kingston Trio, or any folk music for that matter. As for Sinatra, he continued singing long after he should have stopped. His voice had crapped out but he wouldn’t admit it.

But Sinatra will go down as one of the great philosophers.

Kant — “To be is to do.”
Nietzsche — “To do is to be.”
Sinatra — “Do be, do be, do.”
