Clearly one of the most iconic, defining singers of the last century, Frank Sinatra's appeal remained undimmed over the course of over fifty years of recording. Considering the extensive catalog that is Sinatra's legacy, there is much gold to be mined, and NOTHING BUT THE BEST is no exception. The compilation covers many of the biggest hits from various points in Sinatra's career, from his Capitol years to his Reprise catalog, his work with Antonio Carlos Jobim and even his late career signature "Theme from New York New York." The selections also offer a mixed bag of different moods, incorporating equal portions of romantic ballads ("Call Me Irresponsible," "Strangers in the Night") and up-tempo swing numbers ("Come Fly With Me," "My Kind of Town"). The common thread is the emphasis on starry-eyed, stirringly nostalgic pieces that remind listeners of why Frank Sinatra was so beloved.
