Mrs. Mommy (21) is the winner of this pure Classic Sinatra II — You’ll love listening to Ol’Blue Eyes!
Classic Sinatra II showcases a selection of Ol’ Blue Eyes’ most loved recordings from his Capitol concept albums, including “Moonlight In Vermont,” “Pennies From Heaven,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” and “All Of Me.” In addition, the set features four 1950s singles: “Love And Marriage,” “(Love Is) The Tender Trap,” “Learnin’ The Blues,” and “High Hopes.” Plus a 1956 recording of “Memories Of You” and a previously unreleased recording, “This Can’t Be Love.”

He is the only artist to chart in Billboard’s Top Ten for seven consecutive decades.

The trades are buzzing about Martin Scorsese bringing Frank Sinatra to the silver screen.
Scorsese has signed with Universal Pictures and Mandalay Pictures to direct and produce Sinatra. If anyone is a fan of Scorsese or Sinatra, then you know Scorsese has long played with the idea of creating biopic on singer-actor Frank Sinatra.
Now, the trades are speculating Leonardo DiCaprio as an obvious choice to play Ol’ Blue Eyes because he has become Scorsese’s go-to actor over the past decade, having starred in the director’s past four features: Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed and the upcoming Shutter Island. Most of the music in the film will come from Sinatra’s recordings.
Personally, I’d like to see someone else take the role. Who? I am not sure. There are a lot of up and coming actors who’d do the role justice. Sam Worthington is a good choice because he looks like Frank Sinatra. Plus, he’s a talented actor.
Project marks the first silver screen movie to be made about the Hoboken, N.J., native, whose life provided continual fodder for the gossip columnists because of his turbulent love affairs, infamous friendships with notables like President Kennedy and possible Mafia ties.
It will be interesting to see how the casting pans out.
