Buy Now	Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely (more) »rank: 4854 by: Frank Sinatra : essential recording:Look past the tacky, sad-clown velvet painting on the cover (a Grammy-winner for album design in 1959!), there's nothing cheap or sentimental about this record--the bleakest and blackest album of popular songs ever recorded, so quietly powerful it can leave you slumped in your chair with the ice cubes still rattling in your glass. Every single 'suicide song' (as Sinatra liked to call 'em) on Only the Lonely is a stunner that will take your breath away. Nelson Riddle's arrangements are like shadows, almost colorless and motionless, so that all you hear is the ache in the singer's voice. 'Angel Eyes' ...

Amazon.com essential recording:The first of many artistic milestones in the long and illustrious collaboration of Frank Sinatra and arranger Nelson Riddle that began at Capitol Records, In the Wee Small Hours is a first in other notable ways, as well: it was the pair's first 12-inch LP; their first album devoted entirely to ballads; the first 'concept album,' a program of songs designed to ...
Buy Now	On The Radio: The Lucky Strike Shows 1949-1950 (more) »rank: 7775 by: Frank Sinatra : :In 1949, Frank Sinatra was working a gruelling schedule with daily radio shows and several live sets each night in clubs, on top of hisrecording commitments. One of his regular radio dates was for Lucky Strike cigarettes, the Lite-Up Time show, which aired from 7:00-7:15pm Monday to Friday from September 1949 to June1950, with Sinatra leading every show. There were those who thought his unique voice was beginning to suffer from the stress and over-work. If it was, you can not tell from these recordings, wherehe sounds relaxed and on top of his game.These tracks are culled from Lite-Up Time shows presented ...	Buy Now	Songs for Swingin' Lovers! (more) »rank: 5582 by: Frank Sinatra : essential recording:Sinatra already had one youthful career behind him by the time he made Songs for Swingin' Lovers! His were no longer the lustrous pipes of the kid crooner from Hoboken--the voice that made bobbysoxers swoon--but from the first notes of the opening track ('You Make Me Feel So Young') he seems to have discovered a musical fountain of youth that fully justifies the exclamation point in the album title. There's a buoyant new spring in his step, accented by Nelson Riddle's lighter-than-air arrangements, that makes the Columbia records of Sinatra's younger days sound stiff and stodgy in comparison. Even chestnuts like ...

Buy Now	It Might as Well Be Swing (more) »rank: 6755 by: Frank Sinatra, Count Basie and His Orchestra : :This 1964 release was the second collaboration between Frank Sinatra and Count Basie, and features a much higher percentage of swing-oriented arrangements (courtesy of Quincy Jones) than the previous Sinatra-Basie. This time around, the Count Basie Orchestra gives the swinging treatment to such contemporary numbers as 'More,' 'I Can't Stop Loving You,' 'Wives and Lovers,' and 'Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words),' and Sinatra responds with plenty of exuberance and gusto. It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it; out of all the tracks, only 'Hello, Dolly!' fails to stand the test of time (or repeated listenings). --Dan ...	Buy Now	Christmas with the Rat Pack (more) »rank: 7015 by: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. : :Just as irony is being pronounced dead, along comes this boozy holiday compilation to suggest that rumors of its demise may be premature. Given the culture's simmering lounge mania, this collection (with its cheesy homage/rip-off Oceans 11 art direction) may be belated--but hey, punctuality was never these swingin' cats' bag, Jack. The novelty of having three of the 20th century's most notorious sinners belt, whoop, and sing the praises of sleigh bells, roasting chestnuts, and the virgin birth would be enough to recommend this dizzy, 21-track delight, but there's actually some rewarding pop archaeology here as well. Two of the best tracks--Sammy Davis's ...
Buy Now	The Very Best of Frank Sinatra (more) »rank: 8509 by: Frank Sinatra : :A great, comprehensive collection of Sinatra's most popular Reprise tracks, and worth having for any number of reasons, Very Best Of features tons of familiar hits--but requires a caveat for casual Sinatra fans. When Sinatra formed Reprise, he began to re-record many of the sides he'd released on Capitol, in an attempt to transfer his catalog to the new label. It was a smooth move, but his re-recorded versions seldom replaced the originals in the way he'd hoped. And many of the familiar songs here are Capitol remakes. It'd be a task to compare the track listing here with that of the Capitol ...
