Songs For Swingin' Lovers is an album by Frank Sinatra, released in 1956.
It took an alternative tack after In the Wee Small Hours, recording existing pop standards in a hipper, jazzier fashion, revealing an overall exuberance.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 306 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
The album was the first ever number one album. It was knocked off the top after two weeks by Carousel (the 1956 movie's soundtrack).
