Do You Know Sinatra

The MUSIC ?




FRANCIS ALBERT SINATRA

 



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 !!!

The LOVE SONGS of FRANK SINATRA 



Frank Sinatra

LIVE








Frank Sinatra

YOU & ME  "We Wanted it All"

From the TRILOGY Album 

1980






 

.
"All My Tomorrows" is a 1959 ballad with lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Jimmy Van Heusen .    The song was expressly written as a Frank Sinatra vehicle.  It was introduced in the film A Hole in the Head where Sinatra sings it in the opening credits.
Sinatra later featured "All My Tomorrows" on his 1961 album All the Way. Sinatra re-recorded it for his 1969 album MY WAY , in a new arrangement which Charles L. Granata considers to be superior to the original, and which AllMusic calls "lush and aching". Rolling Stone describes the song as "the poignant monologue of a man determined to turn his life around".

"ALL MY TOMORROWS"

Francis Albert Sinatra

"All My Tomorrow Belong to You"


Listen to The Master at Work. Francis Albert Sinatra, the greatest singer of the 20th Century.
There is no one in the 21st Century, a Century of Crappy Music and Crappy Musicians (so-called) to campare to the great Frank Sinatra, not only the greatest singer of The 20th Century, but one of
the greatest singers of all-time. Listen to Sinatra sing this beautiful song written for him by the
great songwriters Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn.

Sinatra's voice was in impeccable instrument, which hi conveys most masterfully in this wonderful song. And the musical composition and arrangement of the song is stunning, with lovely Violins, Flute, Harp,  and an expert orchestra, made up of top-notch professional musicians. Listen, savor the music, and enjoy one the greats, Mr Francis Albert Sinatra. It doesn't get any better than this. We're sure you'll agree.

See Daniel Bellino Zwicke's book "SUNDAY SAUCE" When Italian-Americans Cook for recipes of Sinatra's favorite dishes and recipes for SUNDAY SAUCE alla SINATRA and DOLLY SINATRA'S MARINARA ..

And MANGIA BENE !!!


VEAL MILANES RECIPE alla SINATRA

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups Bread Crumbs (Plain)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

  • 1/4 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 4 veal cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds), pounded thin to slightly less than 1/4 inch
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
DIRECTIONS 
Break or cut the bread into large chunks and place in a food processor. Process until the bread is reduced into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs into a large bowl and stir in the cheese, oregano and parsley. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of oil, stirring until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the flour onto a large plate, plate the eggs in a shallow bowl and spread the seasoned bread crumbs on a second large plate. Coat each veal cutlet in the flour, then the beaten eggs and then the bread crumbs, patting with the palm of your hand to ensure adhesion.
Heat 1 cup of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high flame (to a frying temperature of 350 degrees F.) and sauté the veal for 2 minutes. Turn and sauté for 1 additional minute. Do not crowd the pan. If necessary, fry the cutlets in batches. Remove with a slotted spatula and drain on paper towels. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with lemon wedges.
