Cycles is a studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1968. Released just before Christmas in 1968, there was a ten-month gap between the release of Francis A. & Edward K. and this album, which was the longest period in Sinatra's Reprise years in which he did not commercially record music (barring his contributions to The Sinatra Family Wish You a Merry Christmas).

Album · 1968 · 10 Songs. By 1968, Frank Sinatra dared to make his first pop-rock album. Though orchestrated by Don Costa, who’d excelled on the 1962 landmark Sinatra & Strings, the arrangements here center more on drums, electric bass, electric guitars, and harpsichord than the lush, romantic strings that most listeners expected. The setting is fascinating, even when the songs seem oddly suited for a man of Sinatra’s generation. Jimmy Webb’s By the Time I Get to Phoenix and John Hartford’s Gentle on My Mind, both hits for Glen Campbell, work well, along with Gayle Caldwell’s title track and Wandering.

Cycles" is a song featured in Frank Sinatra's 1968 album Cycles.

The album was released through his own label, Reprise Records, with arranger and composer Don Costa at the helm as producer and Sinatra's longtime pianist Bill Miller as conductor. Guitarist Ralph Casale, a top New York session musician for an array of artists throughout the '60s (including Simon & Garfunkel and The Four Seasons), worked with Sinatra on the Cycles album, but he was careful not to look into those ol' blue eyes. He remembered in a Songfacts interview: "Sinatra used the best people and allowed them to do what they do best
