外号「瘦皮猴」的法兰克.辛纳区出生於1915年12月12日,1939年起先后加入Harry James、Tommy Dorsey乐团担任主唱,1942年以个人名义单飞开始了超过半世纪之久的演艺生涯。辛纳区先后与多组大乐队合作,创造了成串的畅销单曲、专辑,得奖记录亦不胜枚举,葛莱美流行男歌手或传统流行演唱奖多非他莫属,1959、1965、66三次拿下年度专辑,1966年的"Strangers In The Night"同时是年度最佳单曲;五十岁那年已经获得了葛莱美终生成就奖的殊荣。不仅歌唱方面,辛纳区自1941年投身大银幕,五○年代逐渐成为剧情片中要角,总计他在四○至六○年代参与演出电影超过五十部(不含音乐纪录片),主演类型包括动作、战争、悬疑、文艺…,1953年以【乱世忠魂】(From Here To Eternity)得到奥斯卡最佳男配角,2002年上映,由乔治.克隆尼、布莱德.彼特等多位大牌合演的【瞒天过海】正是辛纳区1960年的旧片重拍。1998年5月14日辛纳区因心臟病病逝,享年83岁。由於他在歌唱、电影甚至整个娱乐事业的卓越表现,法兰克.辛纳屈因此被誉为「二十世纪最伟大的艺人」。

这张名为「My Way」的两张一套精选辑共收录他46首法兰克.辛纳屈最具代表歌曲,从最膾炙人口的"My Way"、"New York, New York"、得奖的"Strangers In The Night"、与女儿南西合唱的"Somethin' Stupid"(也被罗比.威廉斯与妮可.基嫚翻唱),还有【太空大哥大】电影插曲"Fly Me To The Moon"皆在其中;辛纳区也常翻唱流行、爵士歌曲,像披头四的"Something"、亨利.曼西尼为【第凡内早餐】谱写主题曲"Moon River"、巴西爵士名作" The Girl From Ipanema "…;还有收录於纽约麦迪逊花园广场现场演唱的"The Lady Is A Tramp"、不朽经典" I've Got You Under My Skin"、" The Very Thought Of You "、" Send In The Clowns "、"Bewitched"…不胜枚举。



1968 Frank Sinatra

My Way
------------

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course, each careful step along the byway
or more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has not
So say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
