The Sinatra family now has control over Frank’s entire catalogue and is continuing to re-establish and repackage the albums for future generations.

‘Sinatra: Best of the Best’ is the next release.

Frank’s children Tina, Frank Jr and Nancy now run the estate. Tina Sinatra recalls going tow work with her Dad. “I remember his command, it was palpable, you could feel the energy in the room. It was like this vacuum of power, all eyes were always on him.  It was very similar to seeing him on stage,” she said.

Frank Sinatra, Jr. also went to “the office” with his father. “There was a tremendous level of excitement-air of expectation-every time he recorded. Everyone knew they were making the best records around. How could they miss? They had the best singer, best arrangers, best musicians, best engineers, and the best studios in town,” he said.

Nancy Sinatra, a pop star also in her day says, “I came to sessions whenever I could. We would go to dinner at the Villa Capri and then we would drive to Capitol. Attending record sessions at Capitol was like going to a concert today-it was the hottest ticket that you could get your hands on; it was fantastic. It was great for him to have a small audience in the room and everything was live. The orchestra was in the room and everybody as a result of that did their best. There was magic in those studios and that building.”

‘Best of the Best’ will include the long out of print Sinatra live album ‘Live In Seattle’.

‘Sinatra: Best Of The Best’ will be released on November 11, 2011.
