Frank Sinatra's Greatest Hits

Frank Sinatra's Greatest Hits! is the first compilation by American singer Frank Sinatra released by his own Reprise Records label in 1968. It concentrates on mostly single releases from the mid to late 1960s, which fluctuates between adult contemporary pop and jazzy swing. The album opens up with Sinatra's recent number one hit "Strangers in the Night" and continues through the varied styles of music Sinatra recorded in the 60s, from easy listening ballads like "It Was a Very Good Year" and "Softly, as I Leave You" to contemporary pop like "When Somebody Loves You" and "That's Life". Greatest Hits was a modest hit, peaking at #55 on the album charts in late 1968. A second volume was issued in 1972, Frank Sinatra's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2. Both albums have since been supplanted with newer and more cohesive compilations. Another Sinatra "Greatest Hits" compilation, The Best of Frank Sinatra consisting of older material, was issued the same year by Capitol Records.
