The little boy from Hoboken, Sinatra started working the club scenes in four-part harmony groups before his connections with music's royalty and pure solo talent found him a place on the radio. The rest is history; Sinatra made strides through the genres from big band, to Hollywood, to the Rat Pack until he found his stardom as the king of the Crooners.
My grandfather has always loved Sinatra, being only ten years his junior. This year, to celebrate his 90th birthday, I made my grandfather an album of my cover versions of some of his favourite songs. It goes without saying that Frank was heavily featured, but here are three of them, for you to enjoy.
So raise a glass to Sinatra today, and if you're really sticking to tradition, make it on the rocks.
