Frank Sinatra – Songs For Midnight

The Sentimental Sinatra.  

Frank Sinatra is not only convincing as the King Of The Swing, he also touches you in a unique way with his ballads. His impeccable phrasing and warm voice create a strong connection with the audience. Sinatra's collaboration with Capitol Records was pivotal. His 1955 album "In The Wee Small Hours," with tracks like “Mood Indigo” and “What Is This Thing Called Love?”, showcases his emotional depth, complemented by Nelson Riddle's orchestration, making it a milestone in music history. Sinatra's legacy as a master of ballads is firmly established. Albums like “Songs For Swingin' Lovers!” (1956) and “Only The Lonely” (1958) cemented his reputation, with songs like “Angel Eyes” and “One For My Baby” highlighting his ability to evoke deep emotions. In 1960, Sinatra founded Reprise Records, gaining artistic freedom. Albums like “Sinatra And Strings” (1962) revisited the lush orchestrations of his Capitol years. His live performances, especially in Las Vegas, demonstrated his skill in connecting with audiences, with songs like “Night And Day” becoming emotional highlights. The emotional resonance of Sinatra’s ballads ensures his music endures. His ability to make listeners feel the emotions in his lyrics has left a lasting impact, influencing countless modern vocalists who continue to draw inspiration from his work.
