I never really have Sinatra phases. I just always love listening to him. Night and Day and One For My Baby are probably my favorite two songs, but there are honestly countless Frank songs that I love and I own probably 90% of what he has recorded.
He is so big in fact that while I attended college I felt it necessary to take a course that was dedicated completely to the collective works of Sinatra. To this day I do not believe there is, has been or will be a greater celebrity. He literally conquered all mediums of his day and as you can see has even conquered the internet after his death. Like The Babe he is a Legend and "Legends never die."
Like I said, Night and Day is one of my favorites, but which version? I know my favorite version is from A Swinging Affair, but what do you think? Would you rather hear the beat beat beat of the tum tum tum? While you listen to both and cast your decision I would read the article by clicking the link below. He is a Legend for a reason and this is just the latest article proving that fact.

All of this stuff is great, but you have to give it a little time to resonate and it will give you a definite reason to be romantic as Sinatra is a Panty Dropper and all chicks love it event if they don't know they do. haha, that was so amazingly sexist...there goes the female constituents. I personally like the later years. His voice is a little different and a lot more powerful and confident, after all by that time he was The Chairman of the Board.
