The Voice of Frank Sinatra is the debut studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released by Columbia Records (catalogue number C-112) on March 4, 1946. The album was originally issued as a set of four 78 rpm records, comprising eight songs in total. Each disc was released under the Columbia catalog numbers 36918, 36919, 36920, and 36921.
Upon its release, the album reached number one on the then-fledgling Billboard chart, where it remained at the top for seven consecutive weeks in 1946 and spent a total of eighteen weeks on the chart overall.
