Portrait of Sinatra – Forty Songs from the Life of a Man is a 1977 compilation album by Frank Sinatra that consists of 40 songs that were recorded for Reprise Records. It spent a total of eighteen non-consecutive weeks in the UK Albums Chart, reaching number-one for two weeks on 2 April 1977. It became Sinatra's fourth album to top the British charts, his first since 1957's A Swingin' Affair! to claim pole position, and also his most recent chart-topping album in the UK. "Let's Face the Music and Dance".
The Frank Sinatra Collection brings together some of Frank Sinatra's finest performances on television, in session and in concert. This release combines the film Portrait Of An Album from the early eighties with the compilation program Sinatra Sings. Portrait Of An Album Filmed in 1984, Portrait Of An Album follows Frank Sinatra as he records his album . Is My Lady with producer Quincy Jones, who also conducts the sessions. Portrait of an Album" looks as though it was copied from a VHS tape, and that may be the only surviving source material, but I am grateful to finally have this one on DVD. Not a great album, by any means, but a wonderful record of the man at work. Sinatra Sings looks fine, as it was taken from a fairly recent PBS special.
The third release in The Frank Sinatra Collection concludes with the compilation Sinatra Sings, a retrospective of particularly memorable moments across forty years of Sinatra performances in the studio, on the stage, and on TV, narrated by his daughter Tina. But it opens with the remarkable Portrait of an Album, which documents the recording sessions for . Is My Lady (1984, Frank Sinatra Enterprises) as they actually laid these tunes down. Arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones and produced by Phil Ramone, Portrait is truly an all-star celebration.

Sinatra's Sinatra is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1963. Ten of the album's twelve tracks are re-recorded versions of songs that Sinatra had previously released, with "Pocketful of Miracles" and "Call Me Irresponsible" being first-time recordings for Sinatra.
The beauty of any Frank Sinatra collection is that, depending upon how it is put together by the producers for whatever purpose they have in mind, each one allows the listener to focus on a different aspect of the singer's work and pick out new and varied details. On one level, this double-CD set is a good compromise for listeners who aren't prepared to spring for the four-CD Best of the Columbia Years: 1943-1952 set (or the 12-CD Columbia Years (1943-1952): The Complete Recordings), but want something that goes a little deeper into his output than any.
