Frank Sinatra emerged as one of America’s defining popular singers in the 1940s, first attracting a mass following with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra before establishing his solo career at Columbia and later Capitol. His unusually conversational phrasing and control of a lyric transformed popular singing, and his 78s document the formative period of a career that would dominate popular music for decades.
