Frank Sinatra Sings The Select Cole Porter - Frank Sinatra

FRANK SINATRA CHRISTMAS ALBUM

Advantages: JINGLE BELLS ALL THE WAY
Disadvantages: NOT SOMETHING I PLAY IN THE SUMMER

INTRO Why is it every Christmas I find myself getting a Frank Sinatra craze (am I the only one ?). Is it because Frank Sinatra is one of the best singers of all time or is it the fact I love to sing along with his catchy lyrics maybe so, but did you know that Frank Sinatra was once called quote: "The Voice" because there's never been a better voice for a microphone than his. As a big fan of Frank Sinatra I have more than a few of his CD's but there's only one that will always find its way to the top of the pile in my collection around this time of year,and that's the Frank Sinatra Christmas Album.

Review of Sinatra Christmas Album - Frank Sinatra

Platinum Collection, The - Frank Sinatra

Advantages: It isn't another low budget set of reissues by some cheap no mark label
Disadvantages: Does there have to be any!?

The men partly responsible for the brilliance of songs such as "I'm Walking Behind You" (originally a hit for Eddie Fisher) and "South Of The Border". These CDs take you on a chronological journey through classic tracks such as Come Fly With Me, I've Got You Under My Skin, The Lady Is A Tramp and Pennies From Heaven. Also includes a 20 page booklet! ...

Can I be Frank?

Advantages: Lots of great songs, excellent background music, not a bad track
Disadvantages: You'll find yourself singing along all the time!

and introducing people to new music....here's Frank! The Man Himself ------------------------ I'm sure there's not a person reading this who hasn't heard of Frank Sinatra. But I felt the review could do with a quick biography of Ol' Blue Eyes (one of his nicknames), almost to set the scene: Frank Sinatra was born to Italian-American parents on December 12th 1915 in New Jersey. His dad was a boxer/fireman and his mum a barmaid. Inspired by seeing his boy-hood hero Bing Crosby sing live, he took up singing - first for fun, and then in competitions In 1939 he was "discovered" and signed for a band, but in 1942 decided to go solo. Throughout the '50s he starred in a number of film roles, most famously Guys and Dolls, but he actually won an Oscar for his part in "From Here to Eternity" In 1960 he starred in the original Ocean's Eleven (yes ...
