Sinatra '65: The Singer Today
Sinatra '65: The Singer Today is a 1965 compilation album by the American singer Frank Sinatra.
The album is a collection of various singles and sessions, highlighted by the hits "Luck Be a Lady", "Anytime At All", "Somewhere In Your Heart", "Stay With Me", and "Tell Her ". The version of "My Kind of Town" featured here contains a verse before the chorus that was edited out of the single version of the song. It is possible the album title was a nod to the Beatles' December 1964 Capitol album Beatles '65, and potentially the Beach Boys' March 1965 Capitol album The Beach Boys Today!
This album is available on compact disc, and all the songs are available on The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings 1995 box set.
