Product Description: Few would dispute that Frank Sinatra was one of the greatest popular singers of the 20th century. His voice had distinct power and majesty, whether he was belting out a swinging dance number or softly crooning a tender ballad. When he was at his height, no one could touch him, and the songs collected on Classic Sinatra showcase the range of his talent. Recorded during his memorable run for Capitol Records in the 1950s, the songs here are more than just his best, they're often the definitive recordings: "I Get a Kick out of You," "Young at Heart," "Witchcraft," "The Lady Is a Tramp," "In the Wee Small Hours," and "I've Got You Under My Skin." Like almost everything Sinatra recorded during this period, there isn't a dud to be found, which makes Classic Sinatra a perfect introduction to the work of this truly great talent. --Robert Burrow


Customer Reviews


4 stars Classic Sinatra, a good place to start
Growing up as a young boy in my parents house I was bombarded with a variety of music in my youth. My mother would be ripped after drinking Hamm's beer with my uncle Terry all day (My dad made good money. I mean she couldn't buy better beer?).... My elementary school teachers are still probably wondering why I was so dang tired all the time. You try sleeping through Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger blasting unto the wee hours of the morning at seven years old and I bet you would try to catch some shut eye too. Needless to say Frank Sinatra was one (one of many) artists my mom would play.

I picked up this CD as a casual listener of Sinatra, and as an attempt to bring back some old memories (one of which is sleep deprivation, I am going to be a dad for the first time so it's appropriate practice right?). I love every song on this CD. I don't think you can get a better Sinatra compilation without making it a two to three CD set. Almost all the songs I really wanted are on this. Having said that Frank has SO MANY great songs he's performed, and there is absolutely NO WAY you could limit even a portion of his career to twenty songs. That's why I can only give this CD 4 stars in good faith. It's a great compilation, but it is still a compilation. As I've said this is an artist that's performed so many great songs; not even the best compilation could span a portion of his career and give it justice. Even so, I loved hearing: Young at Heart, My Funny Valentine, and Come Fly With Me.... Not a bad grouping of songs on this one.... Plus a few old memories just for the sake of it...

Bottom Line: a solid effort to put together a compilation from an artist that can't be done proper justice from a 20 song compilation. Solid 4 stars...


5 stars nice.....
oh this is good!what it must have been like to have been able to see him live during this time.thank god that we have the magic of recording . this guy is timeless.the songs are the kind that take you in and give you a nice ride.i play this disc often and am never disappointed ,it always lightens my mood and i am always pleased that i chose to play it.if you don't have any frank sinatra music,i recommend that you get this one.i'm sure that there are many others,but for now this one is the one.


4 stars Awesome
I bought this CD for a specific song which is also in the movie what women want. The song is known as "Ive got u under my skin" The sound quality is good. The cd is a collectible. I enjoyed it


5 stars Simply....perfect.
This is my first Sinatra CD. I always associated his music with my mother's era but I wanted easy listening music so I chose Mr. Sinatra. What a fabulous voice. Smooth as silk, sexy, rich and expressive. Beautifully done.


5 stars Sinatra at his best
I love this CD. This is "Old Blue Eyes" at his best. The music is very relaxing and easy to listen to. Sinatra is an original icon.
