Frank Sinatra's Barbecued Lamb
He was the chairman of the Board, new Jersey's favorite son (other than me), Nancy's dad, and perhaps the greatest interpreter of the American popular songbook ever to have lived. He was a heartthrob (although my mother always said he was so skinny he had to leave the hangers in his jackets to have shoulders) and he was a serious actor—anyone who saw him in The Man with the Golden Arm can attest. He took home the Oscar for From Here to Eternity in 1954 and gave memorable performances in the musicals On the Town and Guys and Dolls. But it is Sinatra's music that endures. if you don't love his albums Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely, Come Fly with Me, September of My Years, and the samba record Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlo Jobim, you just don't get it. In fact, if you don't like those records, you don't deserve his lamb recipe.
