23 AUGUST 2019 – On October 11,
Capitol/UMe/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company,
and Frank Sinatra Enterprises will release a 50th anniversary edition of Frank Sinatra’s classic album My Way and Sinatra Sings Alan & Marilyn Bergman, a compilation of songs written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman.
Released on Reprise in March 1969, and produced by Don Costa and Sonny Burke, My Way
features a varied collection of contemporary pop songs, including
Lennon and McCartney’s “Yesterday,” Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs.
Robinson,” and the iconic title track, “My Way.” Recorded on December
30, 1968, in just one take, “My Way” charted in the U.S. and stayed on
the U.K. charts for a record-breaking 75 weeks.
The My Way 50th anniversary set features four
bonus tracks, including a live version recorded at The Ahmanson Theatre
in 1971, which is available for streaming and for immediate download
with pre-order.
Sinatra Sings Alan & Marilyn Bergman features songs by
the esteemed, Academy Award winning songwriting duo, including the title
track from Sinatra’s 1960 Grammy-nominated album, Nice ‘N’ Easy.
“As lyric writers,” say Alan and Marilyn Bergman in liner notes, “to
have a singer understand and be able to communicate what you wrote,
whether it be about love or love lost or songs that needed a humorous
approach, Frank got it... his readings were always on the money and more
than what we heard in our minds.”
