Frank Sinatra Trivia: The Anthems and the Rat Pack

The French melody behind 'My Way', the Apollo playlist, and the Oscar on the mantel.

'My Way' (1969) set Paul Anka's English lyrics to the melody of the French song 'Comme d'habitude'.
Sinatra's 1964 recording of 'Fly Me to the Moon', arranged by Quincy Jones, was played during NASA's Apollo missions.
He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the 1953 film 'From Here to Eternity'.
'Somethin' Stupid' (1967), a number-one hit, was a duet with his daughter Nancy Sinatra.
'Theme from New York, New York' came from Martin Scorsese's 1977 film of the same name before becoming his signature closer.

How Well Do You Know Frank Sinatra

The anthems are quick points; the label eras and album cuts settle the match.

The Rat Pack and the swagger

The saloon-singer swagger is the easy read. Rat Pack staples and brassy crowd-pleasers like 'Luck Be a Lady' and the up-tempo pop-soul of 'That's Life' are where casual players score before the deeper albums arrive.

'My Way' and the signature anthems

'My Way', 'New York, New York' and 'Strangers in the Night' are the anthems everyone can name. 'My Way' set Paul Anka's English words to the French tune 'Comme d'habitude', a favourite trivia curveball.

The Capitol swing albums

His Capitol run helped popularise the concept album. 'Come Fly with Me' and 'Songs for Swingin' Lovers!' swing hard, while 'In the Wee Small Hours' is a unified album of late-night loneliness, so the mood places the era.

The songs that went to the movies (and the moon)

'Fly Me to the Moon' travelled on the Apollo missions, 'Theme from New York, New York' came from a 1977 film, and Sinatra won an acting Oscar for 'From Here to Eternity'. The screen crossovers trip people up.
