About this album

42 Great Songs is a strong overview of Frank Sinatra’s big-band years, bringing together many of his most durable standards in one 1974 compilation. The set draws on the material that defined his stature as a popular vocalist, including songs such as The Lady Is a Tramp, My Funny Valentine, All the Way and Witchcraft. Sinatra’s phrasing, swing feel and conversational delivery turn familiar American songbook material into something unmistakably his own. Rather than a single studio statement, this compilation works as a concise portrait of the vocal style and interpretive authority that made him one of the most influential singers of the 20th century.
