Isn't the album's title either Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely or just Only The Lonely? I don't understand the current article title. Wasted Time R 16:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I have seen the album listed as both and I believe the title of this article was listed more often in sources. However, people searching for the album might search for simply "Only The Lonely" looking for the album, hence including the alternate title. Perhaps we should create disambiguation page for Only The Lonely? Williamnilly 17:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Why would it be listed as Sinatra Sings ... when the album cover clearly shows it's Frank Sinatra Sings ...? Wasted Time R 18:06, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Good question. The page shall be moved! Williamnilly 19:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I own this album (on CD) and on the spine the billing reads: "FRANK SINATRA SINATRA SINGS FOR ONLY THE LONELY". The actual CD has the title reading Sings For Only The Lonely right beneath Frank Sinatra's name but personally I usually go with the spine as the definitive billing (as cover art is often stylized). I can produce scans if anyone's interested. Lairor 19:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I think both titles are acceptable (and are noted in the article). Williamnilly 06:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)


Oh, and someone should re-word the "Originally, Frank Sinatra had planned..." paragraph as it's been lifted directly from the allmusic.com review of the album. I'll probably get around to doing it eventually if noone else does.--Lairor 19:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
