✅ Frank Sinatra - Various Song lists
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2016 5:09 pm
I have three lists from books on Sinatra. I'm not sure these are eligible.
Ed O'Brien & Robert Wilson, Sinatra 101: 101 best recordings and the stories behind them (1996)
https://www.amazon.com/Sinatra-101-reco ... 1572971657
The selections were done by the two authors but also by real Sinatra experts, "including among others: Billy May, Sinatra's long-time pianist Bill Miller, Sinatra's long-time guitarist Al Viola, and Jonathan Schwartz" (Amazon comments)
I haven't got the book, only the song list, found on the web. I have added the recording and release dates : since it's a strictly chronological list, I'm pretty sure these informations are the good ones. (Most of those songs, if not all, were recorded several times by Sinatra).

Note :
- "When the World was Young" is the only exception in the chronological order : it's a track recorded for Capitol after Sinatra had begun recording for Reprise, but the authors have put the track after the other Capitol selections.
- "All the Things You Are" and "The Song is You" (Columbia period) are probably not the studio versions, but V-Discs versions (but i can't check this). (Studio versions would have been placed elsewhere in the chronological list).

Note :
- "When the World was Young" is the only exception in the chronological order : it's a track recorded for Capitol after Sinatra had begun recording for Reprise, but the authors have put the track after the other Capitol selections.
- "All the Things You Are" and "The Song is You" (Columbia period) are probably not the studio versions, but V-Discs versions (but i can't check this). (Studio versions would have been placed elsewhere in the chronological list).
