September of My Years is a 1965 studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released on Reprise Records in August 1965 on LP and October 1986 on CD. It was his fifth album collaboration with arranger Gordon Jenkins. Released shortly before Sinatra's fiftieth birthday in December of that year, September of My Years hearkens back to the ballad-oriented concept albums of his 1950s Capitol era, with songs that broadly explore themes of ageing, self-reflection and nostalgia.
It peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. Both September of My Years and the double-LP compilation A Man and His Music won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In 2000 it was voted number 190 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.
