Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is a man of many talents. Apparently, being a crooner is part of his repertoire of skills.
While Seth MacFarlane has been a singer for quiet some time now — releasing eight studio albums since 2011 — it’s certainly not something that many people are aware of.
That may change soon, however, as MacFarlane’s newest album will include never-before-heard arrangements from the iconic Frank Sinatra.
MacFarlane’s new album, Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements, was recorded at Skywalker Sound studios in California with a 70-piece orchestra led by British conductor John Wilson, will be released on June 6.
“What’s special about what these [arrangers] did, and what’s unique about Sinatra’s role in this is that, with the possible exception of Nat King Cole, there really wasn’t any other vocalist of that era who seemed to understand the importance of an arrangement to the degree that Sinatra did,” MacFarlane told Variety.
“He really had a love for the charts — he understood how they could elevate a vocal. What’s really telling is when you pull the vocal out and you’re just hearing the charts, what you’re hearing is a degree of artistry that is unmatched in popular music before or since. These charts alone, independent of the vocal part, were really high musical art.”

“Seth’s interest and knowledge of my father’s music is boundless. With arrangements by the masters, Nelson Riddle, Billy May and Don Costa, we can only wonder why these songs went un-produced. Thanks to Seth, we can now enjoy these lost Sinatra arrangements,” said Tina Sinatra, Frank’s daughter.
