The best Frank Sinatra songs of all time

It’s hard to believe that music icon Frank Sinatra was born 100 years ago. Born Francis Albert “Frank” Sinatra, the American jazz and traditional pop singer was one of the most influential of the 20th century.

To celebrate his centenary, we chart the greatest all-time hits by Frank Sinatra.

Strangers in the Night

While he may have written this song later in life, this romantic song catapulted Frank Sinatra to become a transgenerational success.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Known by a generation as the voice of Christmas, this classic festive song is still a holiday favourite.

New York, New York

Sinata’s homage to New York City paints a picture of the Big Apple as romantic, grand and a city of dreams. The song still conjures nostalgia today for New Yorkers and Sinatra fans alike.

Strangers in the Night

Sure, this song has been remade over and over, but Sinatra’s 1966 recording of Strangers in the Night is still acclaimed as one of the greatest renditions. This hit led to a comeback for Sinatra in the pop charts.

All The Way

This Academy Award winner is from the film The Joker is Wild.

The Way You Look Tonight

Sinatra’s cover of the Fred Astaire hit from the film Swing Time is enough to make anyone swoon.

Let it Snow

A fabulous holiday-time tune, Sinatra’s festive yet romantic voice made this song an instant hit.
