Ah, the Chairman, long may he wave! It's still Sinatra's world and we're all just living in it. While I'm at it, how bout your picks for his best albums? Here's mine:
1) "A Swingin' Affair"-The Chairman in all his glory
2)"Come Dance With Me"-More swingin' brilliance
3)"Sinatra at the Sands"-Live at the peak of the Rat Pack days, and dig the monologues.
4)"Songs for Swingin' Lovers"-This album represents Sinatra in his greatest years, Nelson Riddle arrangements and The Voice at its peak
5)"Sinatra Christmas Album"-For my money, the best Christmas album ever

What a touching and wonderful tribute. I am listening to my favorite song of his, even as I write this: Summer Wind.

I'm usually not a big fan of much of the older music(think most of it is too sappy), but Sinatra was one of the all time greats.

And I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted to be on the receiving end of his punches.

The week that Sinatra died, Clinton was in some deep, hot water, I can't remember what it was. I said to my husband, "The only thing that would knock this off the front page would be Sinatra Dying." I swear this is true. It was that week I decided that Clinton was truly the devil.

Favorite albums: "No One Cares", "In the Wee Small Hours", "Only the Lonely"

Favorite song: "One for My Baby"

I really dig the big band arrangements but Frank could take lyrics and make them come alive! "Come fly with me" and "Summer Wind" are two more of my favorites.
