Alan & Marilyn Bergman, winners of two Academy Awards and members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, were husband and wife, and their professional collaboration produced memorable lyrics cherished by superstars from Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett and Johnny Mathis, to Sting, Barbra Streisand, and Frank Sinatra. This LP, and expanded CD and digital releases, highlights their great songs as sung by Sinatra. His readings were always on the money and more than what we heard in our minds, the Bergmans write in the liner notes. He sang to us. He spoke to us. And we listened.

Frank Sinatra Sings Alan & Marilyn Bergman is a newly curated collection produced by Charles Pignone. The 10-song LP includes Sinatras timeless performance of Nice n Easy, which the Bergmans co-authored with Lew Spence and arranged by Nelson Riddle. There are four more songs written with Spence and arranged by Riddle, including the swinging nursery rhyme Ol MacDonald and the deeply affecting Love Looks So Well On You, and Sleep Warm, both of which were originally available only as a single release.

The Bergmans also collaborated frequently with Michel Legrand, and the LP includes their songs What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?, The Summer Knows, Summer Me, Winter Me and the Oscar-nominated How Do You Keep the Music Playing? Rounding out the collection is L.A. Is My Lady, a latter-day Sinatra classic the Bergmans wrote with Quincy Jones.
