Focusing on Sinatra's presence in the recording studio, this discography catalogues Frank Sinatra's commercial records, V-discs and soundtrack film recordings. The first chapter covers his early years as a vocalist with the big bands of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. Entries then proceed chronologically with separate chapters for each decade. Data was collected from session reports in the files of record companies and from some union contracts. Commercial record and film soundtrack entries include band personnel and composer credits. Frank Sinatra fans, music historians and discographers should appreciate this comprehensive catalogue of session recordings in which Sinatra either sang or conducted. The session spans Sinatra's entire career, from his early days through the 1990s. Two indexes, covering song titles and artists, complete the book.
