The orchestral arrangements are by Gordon Jenkins, their fifth album collaboration. In 2000 it was voted No. 190 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. Sinatra was to turn 50 years old in December 1965, and the release of this album along with \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Man and His Music\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eStrangers in the Night\u003c\/span\u003e marked a surge of popularity in his music. Both \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSeptember of My Years\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Man and His Music\u003c\/span\u003e won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. CBS television cameras were rolling the night (earlier in the spring) that Sinatra recorded \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIt Was a Very Good Year\u003c\/span\u003e for the album. The edited result was included in a Walter Cronkite \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eCBS News special (1965 SPECIAL REPORT: FRANK SINATRA),\u003c\/span\u003e broadcast on November 16, 1965. Sinatra's performance of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIt Was a Very Good Year\u003c\/span\u003e won the Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Male, at the Grammy Awards of 1966. Arranger Gordon Jenkins was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for the same song. This was the first album Sinatra and Jenkins had recorded together since 1962's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eAll Alone.\u003c\/span\u003e Jenkins and Sinatra would next work together on the 1980 album \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eTrilogy: Past Present Future.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSeptember of My Years\u003c\/span\u003e is a concept album exploring the \"who am I\" questions and perspectives that someone, particularly a man, faces upon entering middle age. For instance, in \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIt Was a Very Good Year,\u003c\/span\u003e the narrator looks back upon his life at ages 17, 21, 35, and now, in his personal \"September.\" The structure of the song, which lasts almost four and a half minutes, was highly unusual for a popular song of the time, as it exceeded most other songs of that era by over a minute. In the process, the narrator \"takes his time\" to review his past relationships with a bittersweet mixture of satisfaction and regret. Similarly, in \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eHello, Young Lovers,\u003c\/span\u003e the narrator offers to young people the guidance and wisdom he has gleaned from experience. In other songs, like \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Man in the Looking Glass\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLast Night When We Were Young,\u003c\/span\u003e the narrator conducts an internal dialogue that reviews both the accomplishments and disappointments of his life. In addition to the lyrical content, the musical background reflects a more mature Sinatra than the Capitol recordings of the 1950s and his Reprise albums of the early 1960s. Instead of the big-band, \"swing\" arrangements with horn sections of those earlier songs, this LP features an orchestra with nine violinists. These strings provide a delicate interplay with the vocals, allowing the listener to easily hear and take in the lyrics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793639797017,"sku":"FS-1014","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-frank_sinatra-september_of_my_years-02.jpg?v=1783553864","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/fs-1014","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
