This week we put on our best suits and step into the golden age of cool with Frank Sinatra’s Songs for Swingin’ Lovers! Backed by Nelson Riddle’s lush arrangements, Ol’ Blue Eyes delivers charm, swagger, and romance in every note. From playful flirtations to swoon-worthy ballads, this 1956 classic proves that nobody swings quite like Sinatra. We talk timeless tracks, smooth phrasing, and which tunes still make us snap our fingers, or does it still hold up for us? Plus, our picks for best beat, best bar, and “Song of the Week.”
