Something you need to own



I was working yesterday and i dont know how the conversation started about Frank Sinatra, my co worker said he is boring. I was taken a back not may twenty something our age enjoy Frank Sinatra, i think you have to get that type of music. Sinatra was around since the beginning of time lol, My family brought me up on Sinatra and other various genres. I was reading about him he is really a bad ass dude.

The dude was a teen idol in the 40ies. His career had stalled by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1954 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.He signed with Capitol Records and released several super popular albums, left Capitol which at the time was the biggest Label on the planet and started his own label Reprise Records and had a shit load of success. He drank all night smoke and dated the hottest ladies ever he ran with one of the greatest crews ever The Rat pack google all this shit and read up. The reason for this post is to tell you to go out and buy or download the best Sinatra album ever made "In the Wee Small Hours". It is with this album that Sinatra perfected the concept album, here is a quick background on why he made this record.In the Wee Small Hours used only ballads, the theme is about late-night isolation and lost love at the time his chick Actress Ava Gardner broke up with frank so like any other dude he wrote songs about a girl.

You lie awake and think about the girl and never, ever think of counting sheep. That is serious !!!
