Comment:
Was curious to see how many songs of Frank Sinatra's were listed in the R&B rankings and found three of them, starting off with the one used as track 1 in this mix (it ranked #8 on the R&B charts). And that became the inspiration for this mix. The other two songs were High Hopes (1959 #20) and That's Life (1967 #25). In this mix, special emphasis was placed on the 1940-42 period, when Frank was singing with Tommy Dorsey's band. If I do another mix, I'll probably spend more time looking into his Capitol record years of 1943-1952.
Feedback:
Thanks for a wonderful compilation. My 80 year mother is gonna love this one.
Some say he's the voice of the century. Well Kathryn is ardently opposed to Frank while I rather like him. I'm impressed with your chart positions based on sheet music sales I suppose. Happy holidays.
this is just outright phenomenal...
