Nice 'N' Easy:
Sinatra on Capitol

capitol CDP 7 91149 2

The album was arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle on March 1-3, 1960. The title song was recorded on April 13, 1960 and originally was released as a single. The album was scheduled for release before Nice 'n' Easy acquired lots of sales and airplay, so the suits at Capitol took a song, The Nearness Of You, off the album and replaced it with Nice 'n' Easy. The album features lots of standards that Sinatra had recorded earlier on during his Columbia Records days.

Although the album wasn't developed in the usual 'concept' style, it contained many of the ballads that Frank had mastered. This production was part of Sinatra's contractual obligation to Capitol Records but remains included in the collection of classic albums recorded for Capitol.
