Frank Sinatra's music and life completely changed the face of popular music. Hordes of screaming teenagers, a bad-boy image, critically acclaimed artistry, scandals, the complete and utter respect of untold musicians -- Sinatra had all of this and more in his lifetime. An unparalleled interpreter of songs and a performer with grace and humility – Sinatra famously did everything "his way."


iTunes recently paid homage to the man by commissioning a selection of performers to record new, exclusive versions of the songs Sinatra made famous. While these are by no means your standard covers, these "re-imaginings" from artists such as Maroon 5, the Kooks, A Fine Frenzy, the Morning Benders, and the Kills is a collection of tracks you aren't going to find anywhere else.

Best offering? A somber, stripped down version of Willow Weep for Me, by Beaston faves, Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart, aka The Kills.

So rad!
