Sinatra, Nothing But The Best

Preview by Jack Foley

AS ONE of the 20th century’s most iconic entertainers, Francis Albert Sinatra made an indelible mark on the world.

Sinatra’s legacy not only endures but also continues to grow in stature. As the first initiative under the newly established Frank Sinatra Enterprises (FSE), a partnership between the Sinatra Family and Warner Music Group, FSE has partnered with Rhino, Warner Home Video, MGM Home Entertainment, Turner Classic Movies, and even the United States Postal Service to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Frank’s passing.

The month-long celebration in the US will include the release of all-new CD and DVD collections, a television film festival and specials and a commemorative Sinatra stamp with official USPS first-day issue cancellation.

In the UK, Rhino Records will release Nothing But The Best on CD, Deluxe CD/DVD and digital download on May 12. This new collection features 22 classic cuts remixed and remastered from the original master tapes, plus a previously unreleased recording of Body And Soul, featuring a new arrangement.

The CD includes a selection of Sinatra’s most memorable performances and best loved recordings, such as Fly Me To The Moon, It Was A Very Good Year, Strangers In The Night, That’s Life, Something Stupid, Theme From New York, New York and My Way.
