Description
Frank Sinatra – Ultimate Sinatra – Compact Disc
Frank Sinatra’s Ultimate Sinatra is a career-spanning compilation released in April 2015 by Capitol Records / Universal Music Enterprises, marking the 100th anniversary of Sinatra’s birth (1915–2015). It is designed as a concise but comprehensive overview of his recording career, covering material from his early days with Columbia Records in the 1940s through his Capitol and Reprise eras.
The compilation is notable for spanning three major label periods, something not always achieved in single-disc Sinatra collections. It includes early Columbia-era standards such as “All or Nothing at All” and “I’ll Never Smile Again,” classic Capitol recordings like “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” and “Come Fly with Me,” and key Reprise-era tracks including “My Way,” “Strangers in the Night,” and “Theme from New York, New York.” By combining these eras, Ultimate Sinatra presents a more unified portrait of his artistic evolution than label-specific anthologies.
The collection highlights the breadth of Sinatra’s work: big band swing arrangements with Tommy Dorsey, lush Capitol-era concept album recordings arranged by Nelson Riddle, and the more contemporary pop-leaning orchestrations of his later Reprise years. It captures his transition from teen idol crooner to mature interpreter of American standards.
The release performed strongly on jazz and catalog charts, reaffirming Sinatra’s enduring market presence decades after his passing. As a catalog entry, Ultimate Sinatra functions as a streamlined introduction for new listeners while offering higher-track-count editions for collectors who want broader coverage.
In Sinatra’s extensive discography, this compilation stands as one of the most balanced single-package summaries of his career, emphasizing his role as a defining voice of 20th-century American popular music.
