Portrait of Sinatra – Forty Songs from the Life of a Man

Portrait of Sinatra – Forty Songs from the Life of a Man is a 1977 compilation (Gatefold) album by American singer Frank Sinatra that consists of 40 songs that were recorded for Reprise Records. It spent a total of eighteen non-consecutive weeks in the UK Albums Chart, reaching number-one for two weeks on 2 April 1977. It became Sinatra's fourth album to top the British charts, his first since 1957's A Swingin' Affair! to claim pole position, and also his most recent chart-topping album in the UK.

The sleeve design was illustrated by English portrait painter Michael Noakes, who won a platinum disc for his work. The artwork on the back cover of the gatefold album shows an outline charcoal drawing of Sinatra's face; one of the inside sleeves shows a partially painted version of that same outline charcoal drawing; the other inside sleeve lists the album's tracks and several tributes to Sinatra from artists such as Frankie Valli, Hoagy Carmichael; Bing Crosby, Nelson Riddle, Count Basie and Antonio Carlos Jobim; and the front cover itself shows the fully completed portrait of Sinatra's face. The album was not issued in the U.S & has never had an official release on CD in the UK.
