 | Frank Sinatra - Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 by Frank Sinatra
Buy used from: $4.10 MY WAY(which Frank jokingly referred to as The National Anthem), CYCLES, LOVE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME. But Frank is also at his worst when he chooses hits of others like Something, Goin' Out of My Head.
|
 | Sinatra - A Man Alone: The Words and Music of McKuen by Frank Sinatra
Buy used from: $47.95 This is a fine concept album. McKuen's songs fit Frank's persona perfectly. Especially LONESOME CITIES, LOVE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME, and I'VE BEEN TO TOWN.

|
 | Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely by Frank Sinatra
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.45 I'm listing this and the two that follow because OTHER people think they are Sinatra classics. They all wallow in misery and self-pity, and no doubt Sinatra the master captures the mood.But I can't tarry there , partly because my Christian faith won't let me stay down that long, PLUS (see below):
