Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim

Francis Albert Sinatra · 1967

A 1967 studio collaboration between Sinatra and Jobim, recorded over two days in Hollywood with Claus Ogerman arranging and conducting a studio orchestra. Features bossa nova treatments of Jobim originals and three Great American Songbook standards. Sinatra sings unusually softly — likened to his 1950 vocal hemorrhage — and the mood is consistently romantic and regretful. Al Viola substituted on guitar for 'Change Partners'. Lyricists attended. Grammy-nominated. One of 1967’s best-selling albums.
