More about MATT CATINGUB "FROM SAMOA TO SINATRA"
This is the ultimate tribute from son (Matt) to and WITH his mother, Mavis Rivers, the first female signed to Frank Sinatra’s Reprise Records label…Nominated as Best New Artist at the very first Grammy Awards, Mavis Rivers career was Landmark. After the nomination, and after recording three acclaimed LPs for the Capitol Records label, her label mate Frank Sinatra decided to create Reprise Records. The very first female vocalist he signed, whom Sinatra nicknamed his “Swinging Lady”, was Samoan-born Mavis Rivers. As a result, Mavis entered the studio in the late 1960s to record what would be one of the first three initial releases on Sinatra’s Reprise Records. Amazingly, Mavis at the time was very pregnant (with MATT); you’ll hear those vocals on this recording! Included in the recording are favorites like “It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)”, “People Will Say We’re In Love” “The Best Is Yet To Come” and many more.
