Fridays Are For Frank: “Drinking Water” (feat. Tom Jobim) – Rio Olympics Edition

Frank Sinatra did a lot of cool stuff.

Universally accepted as being among the coolest were his collaborations with Antônio Carlos “Tom” Jobim — the Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, and pianist/guitarist — the man who put the “Boss” in Bossa Nova, and wrote one of the most celebrated songs of all time, “The Girl From Ipanema.”

The Sinatra–Jobim Sessions is a 1979 double LP of the works recorded by Frank Sinatra and Antônio Carlos Jobim between 1967 and 1969. Originally released only in Brazil, in 2010 it was re-mastered and released under The Frank Sinatra Collection and became available worldwide.
