Sinatra Boxset
On November 3rd a five disc boxed set is coming out showcasing Frank Sinatra’s live performances throughout New York. Titled “Sinatra: New York”, there will be 55 songs over 4 CD’s and 16 songs on the DVD that spans from 1955 to 1990. I really didn’t start appreciating ol’ Frank until a few years ago. Man, that guy was in a league of his own.
