In Reply to: So I found this Sinatra album that I didn't even know I had... posted by ghost of olddude55 on January 4, 2021 at 06:05:46:
I dabble in jazz singing and have always been a Sinatra fan, but in the course of studying many dozens of songs based on my interest in singing them, I used to think that this or that song was not one of the great many Sinatra ever sang. Then I started listening to the Sinatra channel on Sirius XM. I was wrong. He missed nothing. There are a very few songs that it is said he refused to record. One was "Lush Life". The story goes that he put a version on tape in the course of making an album and then decided to trash it, because he wasn't happy with his work on it.
He made an album orchestrated by Axel Stordahl that is even more emotionally crushing than the one you refer to, but I cannot recall the name of the album. "There's no you" is a featured piece and may be the title of the album. Also, the album "Only the Lonely", one of his greatest ever, is not going to have you laughing. It's for being sleepless at 3 AM.
