Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Few would argue 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", "I've Got You Under My Skin". Like almost everything Sinatra recorded during this period, there isn't a dud to be found here, which makes Classic Sinatra a perfect introduction to the work of this truly great talent. --Robert Burrow

CLASSIC -- Sinatra means -- His Greatest!,
By
This review is from: Classic Sinatra: His Great Preformances 1953-1960 (Audio CD)
Since only 16, I was greatly influenced by ole Blue Eyes! Regard-less whether his Movies, his Records on 78 rpm or on the Radio! (Long before TV!) Then our Senior Yr comes along, we got old enuf to be "Dancing in the Dark with Mary Costa, Harriet____ or Dorris! We thrilled & chilled-out to "The Lady Is A Tramp; When You're Young at Heart; It's Witch-craft!" We stayed long, Past our Curfew" to have another Frostie to Smootch a bit-more! Along about 40, Frank's still going strong. Sir Robert Shaw said: "If you really hope to learn the art of phrasing, Listen to Frank!"Only reminded today on hearing Garrison Keillor, my 75th yr, hearing a Poem of Donald Justice: "Men over 40 learn to close the door very softly when leaving the room if not coming back!" But we leave it open, just enuf to hear Frank! So here is Frank moving us once more to Nostalgia, Bittersweet Memories, hearing, "You Make Me Feel So Young! ; Night and Day ; Put Your Dreams Away til Another Day; Come Fly With Me!" Only 7 out of the 20++ Classic Songs of Sinatra from Ole Blue Eyes, who never stopped looking, feeling, singing YOUNG! Every trip includes Frank, Duke, Louis, Sir Robert! Not-Yet-Older, Retired Chaplain Fred W Hood

Perfect introduction for the new fan,
By Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Sinatra: His Great Preformances 1953-1960 (Audio CD)
If you're just getting into Sinatra, this is the almost perfect introduction. This CD contains 20 of his greatest songs, and every one is beautifully crafted, orchesrated and sung. From here you can branch out to the three-CD set, "The Capitol Years" and the similar box sex for the Reprise years, but beginning with this album is an excellent start. If you don't know Sinatra or haven't listened to him seriously, this record will change your life, literally. It will become very hard to listen to other singers because his abilities were unique unto him and this will become obvious as a whole new world opens up for you.If your only listening experience with Frank have been a half dozen 45's of "New York, New York," "Strangers in the Night" and a few of his other hits from later years, then this CD will introduce you to the real Sinatra, not the Top 40 Frank. No one has ever phrased a lyric like his man. No one. You feel his pain, his pathos, his happiness, his despair and his loneliness. It is a completely joyous experience to listen to this man sing. Others had greater range or greater voices: Bing and Dean had better pure voices, but none had the inimitable gift that Frank Sinatra possessed, and that is allowing you to understand a lyric and feel it deep down in your soul. There is only one Sinatra and this collection epitomizes his glory years. My highest recommendation.

Great engineering,
By Jorge Barbarosa "the_bassist" (the back 9) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Sinatra: His Great Preformances 1953-1960 (Audio CD)
Thankfully remastered classics. I remember going off to Viet Nam, wandering the streets of Tokyo one dark and rainy night and hearing "Strangers in the Night" blaring out of every bar with cheap speakers, it was the soundtrack before my personal hell. Years later I heard it rightfully played on a quality stereo, I wept.
