Reading & Listening: Sinatra Discography and Music History

Attention to all jazz, pop and big band music fans! The new Sinatra Discography and Music History website has just been announced on the Steve Hoffman Music Forum. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/sinatra-discography-website-returns.1210429/#post-35306960

To quote Bob F's announcement, "Andrew Trager (ex-discographer from the old Sinatra Family Forum) passed along the following news, which he asked me to announce here: “I thought you'd be interested in knowing that the Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra Jr. discographies and filmographies have a new home. Robert has constructed the website, https://sinatradiscography.com/ , I have brought all aspects up-to-date with the most important releases of the past three years and coming months.”

Now updated and all in one place are the complete discographies of Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra, Jr including:

Song lists, album discographies, album covers, EPs and singles, radio transcriptions and V-Disc releases. Also included are the complete sessionographies and film and TV information.

This is a wonderful reference to help fans learn more about these three wonderful music artists. Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting and reading Hear More Music!
