Frank Sinatra’s children, Nancy and Tina, congratulate Taylor Swift for breaking their dad’s ‘Album of the Year’ record.
“Congratulations Taylor Swift on your Album of the Year win and breaking our dad’s record. You’re a champion for artists everywhere, and doing it your way.” — Nancy & Tina Sinatra
Swift is now the first and only artist to win AOTY four times.
At Christmas time in America, “We Three Kings” could take on a different connotation. The royal triumvirate of traditional Christmas music consists of Nat King Cole, King Bing (Crosby), and the chairman of the board of Christmas music monarchs, Frank Sinatra. The Cole and Crosby catalogs haven’t been so heavily mined for holiday nuggets recently, but there’s a full-on push to keep Sinatra as much of a presence in Christmas-celebrating households as peppermint or pine scent.
To that end, Universal Music has released yet another Sinatra compilation CD (and double-LP), “Ultimate Christmas” — one that comes closer to living up to that name than any of the previous Sinatra holiday sets, by virtue of bringing together material he recorded from the early ‘50s through early ‘90s. The new album is one more way Nancy and Tina Sinatra are trying to ensure their dad maintains his fatherly position in the households of present and future generations, too.
