The World We Knew


The World We Knew, also known as Frank Sinatra, is a 1967 studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra.
The title track reached No. 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Easy Listening chart in 1967, while the Frank/Nancy Sinatra duet "Somethin' Stupid" reached No. 1 on both charts.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album two and a half stars, and described it as, "More of a singles collection than a proper album...Much of this has a rock-oriented pop production, complete with fuzz guitars, reverb, folky acoustic guitars, wailing harmonicas, drum kits, organs, and brass and string charts that punctuate the songs rather than provide the driving force...the songs Sinatra tackles with a variety of arrangers are more ambitious than most middle-of-the-road, adult-oriented soft rock of the late '60s." Erlewine described "Drinking Again" as "exceptional, nuanced" and said that it "ranks among the best songs Sinatra cut during the '60s."
