¡Felicitémonos! El próximo 12 de diciembre cumplimos 100 años con Frank Sinatra, celebraremos el centenario de su nacimiento. Dado el calibre de su figura, un icono no solo del jazz y la música en general sino del siglo 20, está claro que los homenajes a su imponente persona se multiplicarán de aquí a final de año. De momento, esta semana se publica el recopilatorio «Ultimate Sinatra: The Centennial Collection», incluyendo -por vez primera- grabaciones de todos sus sellos discográficos y temas inéditos. Aprovechamos la coyuntura para rescatar nuestra Lista Spotify con Las 30 Mejores Canciones de Frank Sinatra.
Esta «colección centenaria» de Frank Sinatra (con grabaciones de Columbia, Capitol y Reprise) sale a la venta en diversas ediciones. La más extensa recoge 100 temas en una caja de 4 cds con un libreto que incluye un nuevo y extenso texto del historiador Charles Pignone. Existe además una versión de un único cd con 25 canciones, un doble LP con 24 y la edición digital, que incluye 26. Entre todas estas ediciones se suman además 5 inéditos de dudoso interés: se trata de ensayos y tomas alternativas.
Os dejamos aquí nuestra Lista Spotify con Las 30 Mejores Canciones de Frank Sinatra. Y, a continuación, el listado completo de canciones de la edición de lujo de 4 cd’s:
