WARNER REPRISE VIDEO RELEASES THIRD WAVE OF
FRANK SINATRA DVD TITLES ON SEPTEMBER 21st

Warner Reprise Video is set to release 3 new DVD titles from legendary entertainer FRANK SINATRA on September 21st. Originally released on home video as part of The Reprise Collection, these titles represent the final installment of the 9-title collection on DVD. Included in the third round of Sinatra DVD releases are: A MAN AND HIS MUSIC PART II, SINATRA and SINATRA: THE MAN AND HIS MUSIC with THE COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA. These three newest additions to the Frank Sinatra DVD library find the Chairman of the Board in a trio of different guises — the saloon singer, the hip crooner and the ultimate big band voice. Combined with the previous six DVD releases of his vintage TV specials, the Sinatra DVD library paints a musical and visual portrait of Sinatra through the '60's, '70's and '80's.

Originally broadcast in 1966, A MAN AND HIS MUSIC PART II captures the feel of an informal session with the quintessential Sinatra conductor/arranger Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. Also included is a medley conducted by Gordon Jenkins and a true highlight of the program — the performances by his daughter, the 60's pop goddess, Nancy Sinatra. Besides her two solos, Nancy duets with Frank on a rare and priceless medley of Petula Clark's "Downtown" and Nancy's own hit, "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'."

SINATRA originally aired in 1969 and featured such classics as "My Way," "Fly Me To The Moon" and "My Kind Of Town." Additionally, the SINATRA DVD contains a film clip medley that includes song highlights of "I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night," "You're Sensational" and "All The Way."

Sinatra was never better than when he was in front of a swinging big band, which is exactly where he is on SINATRA: THE MAN AND HIS MUSIC with THE COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA. The special first aired in 1981 and features such classic Sinatra standards as: "Nice And Easy," "Pennies From Heaven," "The Girl From Ipanema," "The Best Is Yet To Come," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Theme From New York, New York."

The six previously released DVD titles from the FRANK SINATRA REPRISE COLLECTION include: A Man And His Music, A Man And His Music + Ella + Jobim, Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back, In Concert At Royal Festival Hall, The Main Event and Francis Albert Does His Thing.
