Trilogy: Past Present Future (or simply Trilogy) is a 1980 album by the American singer Frank Sinatra. This album produced the last of Sinatra’s many signature numbers, “Theme from New York, New York.”
At the Grammy Awards of 1981, Trilogy: Past Present Future was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and Sinatra’s recording of “Theme from New York, New York” was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
On his WNEW-AM show, Jonathan Schwartz described the “Future” suite that forms the final part of this album as “narcissistic” and “a shocking embarrassment”. Sinatra rang to complain, and had Schwartz suspended from his job.
