SINATRA TWICE!
TWO NEWLY ISSUED SINATRA ALBUMS FOR ALL THE LOUNGE LIZARDS AMONG US . . .
MY WAY (REMASTERED EDITION)
Recorded in 1969 and featuring a mix of rock covers and standards, My Way showcased what would become Frank Sinatra's signature song. Creating a middle ground between the traditional pop Sinatra loved and the contemporary pop/rock that dominated the charts in the late 1960s, this is the album that showed Sinatra's timeless artistry could encompass all music. Out of print for over a decade, My Way is now reintroduced to celebrate its 40th Anniversary with two special bonus tracks along with liner notes from U2's Bono. Produced by Don Costa and Sonny Burke, My Way was released in March 1969 and features a varied collection of contemporary pop songs, including Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson,” The Beatles’ “Yesterday,” Ray Charles’ “Hallelujah I Love Her So,” and the iconic title track, “My Way,” which would become his career theme song. The song occupies a special place in popular music, influencing generations of musicians, from Elvis Presley to the Sex Pistols, both of whom conspicuously recorded their own versions. Famous Sinatraphile Bono, who contributes the My Way 40th Anniversary Edition liner notes, wrote of the song, “..[it’s] a boast – more kiss-off than send-off – embodying all the machismo a man can muster about the mistakes he’s made on the way from here to everywhere.” Also included are two unreleased tracks: Stevie Wonder’s classic “For Once In My Life, recorded on August 13, 1969 for the Sinatra television special, and a live version of “My Way,” recorded on October 24, 1987, at Reunion Arena in Dallas.
