Here's a real treasure that I found at HPB - and I didn't get it from the bargain bin! I didn't even know about this album, so you can imagine my surprise when I found it and for so cheap ($3.98). Does anyone know if there's any other record that Frank and his kids recorded together? Well, I think it's just dandy that we get to hear Tina and Frank Jr. each sing a song on this. Nancy was already recording hit records, so she gets two solo songs on this album, plus a duet with Tina. But my favorites are the songs where Frank Sr. and the kids all sing together. I especially like their version of "The 12 Days of Christmas".
So, better hurry and download this one before it goes away!

Thank you for such a wonderful share.
You have as always excellent taste.
This is awesome! I adore Frank Sinatra and The Christmas Waltz is one of my favorite carols. A double win!
Hey, y'all!
So glad you like this one! I was very excited when I found the record at the store!
frank recorded at least 2 other 45s with nancy, beyond their hit record "somethin' stupid". the titles are "feelin' kinda sunday" and "life's a trippy thing"....
This is great, thanks !
I remember this one. Along with some other favorites, I dubbed it onto a cassette tape that I played at Christmas for several years.
I saw Frank Jr. perform live about 5 years ago in Agoura Hills, Calif, back in the hills behind Malibu, at The Canyon Club. One of the all-time best shows I had ever seen by ANYONE. He showcased his fathers' songs & Nancy, his sis, was in attendance at a table next to ours.
