Only the Lonely was Sinatra's favorite album he recorded at Capital Records. His divorce from Ava Gardner had finalized and Nelson Riddle had just lost his mother and daughter. The album cover painting of Sinatra in a clown-like makeup won a Grammy. Sinatra was nominated for five Grammys at their inauguration in 1959. Sinatra won a Grammy for the album cover
This Lp and "Wee Small Hours" cannot be topped. Sinatra gems that will live for generations. This was put in a Time Capsule to capture the isolation of modern civilization....With the Ava divorce fresh and Nelson's wife and daughter's tragic death, they put together a Masterpiece....
Los que vivimos esa época apreciamos la voz maravillosa de Francis Albert. Una vez oí la anécdota que a uno de rock metálico lo encerraron con discos de Sinatra y acabó casi enloquecido. Esto es para oídos exquisitos.
I love this album! A lonely companion when you are broken hearted after a breakup and are grasping at straws and the drugs , liquor and other people are not enough to console you and all you have is your brokenness to share in prayer to God.
This is Sinatra at his finest, his voice had fully matured. The Nelson Riddle orchestral arrangements are just superb. An award winning album for many reasons, and probably Frank's and Nelson's most definitive recording.
Thanks to you,months algo I found this increíble álbum,I think unknown in Argentina.Sinatra's sad and also romantic mood at his Best! I really apareciste this,thank You!

‘Makes suffering almost a pleasure’ you succinctly nailed it. Great description.
