The Chairman's Hour 'hosted' By Frank Sinatra To Launch Exclusively On Sirius Satellite Radio

   

SiriusNEW YORK, July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio and the Sinatra family are proud to announce a unique weekly show on Siriusly Sinatra channel 75. The Chairman's Hour is 'hosted' by Frank Sinatra himself using rare material unearthed from the Sinatra family archives. The show, spanning decades, is reflective of his body of work, emotional composition, and respect for those who he collaborated with personally and professionally. The Chairman's Hour will premiere on July 7 at 5 pm ET, with a special preview broadcast on July 4 at 5 pm ET, featuring a set of Frank's patriotic songs.

Siriusly Sinatra, which launched earlier this year, is the only 24-hour, seven-day-a-week, commercial-free channel to broadcast the entire spectrum of Sinatra's career as well other artists from the big band, swing and traditional pop genres. Produced by the Sinatra family, the channel also features regular blocks of Sinatra's music, archival performances and is the home of Nancy For Frank, a weekly show hosted by Nancy Sinatra.

Frank Sinatra's career is unmatched in American popular music. A recipient of 13 GRAMMY(R) awards, Sinatra holds the distinction of singing on the first Billboard No. 1 single, "I'll Never Smile Again" (1940), which sold 900,000 copies. From his first released single in 1940, as the singer with Tommy Dorsey's band, to the 1980 release of "Theme From New York, New York," Frank Sinatra had more than 200 hits on Billboard's pop singles chart.

Five-Disc Boxed Set Features All Previously Unreleased Live Performances Of Ol’ Blue Eyes In Vegas

Spans Three Decades And Features The Chairman At His Best

LOS ANGELES – Sinatra, more than any other performer, turned Las Vegas into “The Entertainment Capital Of The World.” Whether it’s “Come Fly With Me,” “Luck Be A Lady,” or “My Way,” Sinatra in VEGAS is the Sinatra of legend. On November 7, audiences can experience the Chairman at his pulse pounding best with the release of SINATRA: VEGAS, a 4-CD/1-DVD boxed set of live performances.

This deluxe set of previously unreleased material from Reprise Records includes five unforgettable performances in legendary Vegas venues by Sinatra in his prime. The set includes never-before-heard versions of the his most iconic hits including: “Come Fly With Me,” “Witchcraft,” “The Lady Is A Tramp,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Fly Me To The Moon,” “Luck Be A Lady,” “Theme From New York,” “New York,” “My Way”, and many more. SINATRA: VEGAS will be available all major retail and digital outlets, and at sinatrasongs.com for a suggested list price of $79.98.

Disc One was recorded at The Sands hotel (which Sinatra partially owned) in November of 1961. Such Sinatra standards as “The Lady Is A Tramp,” “Young At Heart,” and “Witchcraft” are greeted with rapturous response from the hometown crowd. An insightful bonus audio interview with Sinatra sheds light on the segregation in Nevada hotels that he was battling at the time of this performance.

Disc Two presents Sinatra back at the Sands in early 1966, performing with Count Basie & His Orchestra (which featured a young Quincy Jones conducting). Some of Sinatra’s performances from that engagement were excerpted for Sinatra At The Sands (which would become one of the singer’s most popular LPs), but all the recordings included here are previously unavailable. Organized as a complete show with the songs in the order they were performed, this is the ultimate swingin’ collaboration meeting between Sinatra and Basie.

Disc Three presents Frank at Caesar’s Palace during a two-week engagement in the Circus Maximus in March of 1982, where Frank was heralded as “the greatest Roman of them all.” Sinatra began the 1980s with a switch from lush string sections to upbeat ‘hot band’ accompaniment. Also heard on this volume of SINATRA: VEGAS is Nancy Sinatra, who duets with her father on their #1 hit “Somethin’ Stupid,” and fellow Rat Packer (and good-natured heckler) Dean Martin.

Disc Four bookends the decade with an April 1987 engagement at The Golden Nugget. This performance was a rare occasion when Frank’s favorite accompanist Bill Miller was not behind the piano – he instead conducted the orchestra while fellow Sinatra stalwart Lou Levy tickled the ivories. Miller, who passed away earlier this year while touring with Frank Sinatra Jr., is featured playing or conducting on all five discs of SINATRA: VEGAS.

The boxed set’s DVD features a complete unreleased concert from May 5, 1978 at Caesar’s Palace – one of more than 500 shows he performed there in his long career. At the time, cameras were rolling for the CBS-TV program Cinderella At The Palace, a special about a new singer getting her big break that featured several famous guest appearances. Though only a few Sinatra songs were part of the broadcast, Frank’s whole show was filmed – as well as rare backstage footage shot before and after the performance.

These five discs reside within a beautiful metallic foil clamshell box, which also includes a lavish 64-page book with celebrity commentary, essays by noted Sinatraphiles, rare photos, and reproductions of Vegas memorabilia.
