Frank Sinatra My Way LP

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of the most iconic recordings of all time! Reissued for the first time in decades is the album My Way, first issued in 1969 and featuring the hit title song as well as Sinatra's indelible performance on "All My Tomorrows," from the film in which he had a starring role, A Hole In The Head. My Way, arranged by Don Costa, and co-produced by him with Sonny Burke, also includes Sinatra's versions of more contemporary material.

By this point in his career, Sinatra's voice had settled into its nice warm baritone that he enjoyed pushing into a light growl on the title track and the swinging 'For Once In My Life' or simply resting comfortably in as he turned in some gorgeous ballads. The album was also a chance for Sinatra to show he was paying attention to the pop charts, as he took on 'Yesterday' and 'Mrs. Robinson' with ease and aplomb. Helping him was producer and arranger Don Costa for finding that solid center where the perfection of those now classic songs could be adapted easily to the sparkle of traditional vocal pop. Even then, it sounded a little goofy to hear him cha-chaing through a Simon & Garfunkel tune, but if you can turn down the dial on your irony and focus in on the musicianship and the command that Sinatra had with nearly every song he lent his pipes to, you'll be in heaven.
