This 1956 Capitol release found Sinatra in his prime, masterfully reinterpreting standards with a swagger that directly influenced a generation of rock and roll vocalists. The arrangements by Nelson Riddle are as much a star as Sinatra, a perfect marriage of swinging big band jazz and intimate saloon balladry.
- The album was Sinatra's first full-length stereophonic recording.
- It reached number 1 on Billboard's Top Pop Albums chart.
- "Songs for Swingin' Lovers!" was the first Sinatra album to be re-recorded by another artist in its entirety.
