Frank Sinatra's the man!

So am sitting here getting some quality reading done, listenin to some tunes w/ iTunes. Fig. this is a little redundant, but Frank's the man!

The Chairman of the Board's sound definitely ages well!

Hey Doug, I haven't seen/heard this one? What's on it, and what makes that one stand out in your mind?

Classic 1966 date with Sinatra backed by the Count Basie Orchestra under the direction of Quincy Jones... "Come Fly With Me", "Luck Be A Lady", "I've Got You Under My Skin" - they're all here and much, much more. The music pulses and snaps, yet you always sense that THE MAN is in total control. You know what? I think this is even available on DVD now!

At the top of his game, no one had better phrasing and breath control than Frank, nor was anyone as good at projecting the feelings he had regarding a song.

I'm going to HAVE to look this one up! I've got a pretty good selection of Sinatra (mainly from his Capitol years), but this sounds like something a little unique. Thanks for the heads up guys!

Sinatra was a true artist. To me, Sinatra, Joe Williams, Nat King Cole and Mel Torme are the real giants who tower over everyone else. Sinatra was probably the first vocalist who understood the acoustic properties of the microphone well enough to treat it like an instrument. Just listen how he fades out notes by drawing the mic away, or how he uses it to emphasize certain notes.
