The Best of the Capitol Years is a 1992 compilation album by American singer Frank Sinatra.
A flawless single-disc condensation of the three-CD Capitol Years box featuring many of Sinatra's most famous songs of the 1950s and early-1960s period he spent making masterpieces for the label. Sinatra displays at least as many emotional shadings here as there are songs on the disc; not only is there the unfettered ebullience of "I've Got the World on a String" or the desolation of "What Is This Thing Called Love?" but a riotously insouciant reading of the ostensibly heartbroken "South of the Border" and a wise interpretation by the middle-aged Sinatra of "You Make Me Feel So Young."
