Francis Albert Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer and actor. Known as “Ol’ Blue Eyes”, Sinatra was one of the most popular entertainers of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.

Songs for Young Lovers is the seventh studio album by Frank Sinatra and his first on Capitol Records. It was issued as an 8-song, 10″ album (Capitol H-488) and as a 45rpm EP set, but it was the first Sinatra “album” not to have a 78rpm multi-disc-album release. In 2002, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
