""Despite the fact that that he had no formal training as a singer (or perhaps because of it), Sinatra developed a highly unique style. The passion that he put into all of his songs could be felt, as well as heard, by the listener. When Frank sang a pop song, your cares melted away. When he sang a ballad, you fell in love. And when Frank was swingin', you couldn't help but dance." ~ Karen Green, Liner Notes ~



One of Frank Sinatra's most famous quotes was: "I get the audience involved, personally involved in a song because I'm involved myself. It's not something I do deliberately."



That's so true! I believe that only the legendary Entertainer of the Century can artfully dramatize the true essence of every song that he recorded during his illustrious and distinguished musical career. So many beautiful songs are identified with him and made them his own as if those songs were written for him and him alone. Like the "swingin' songs" in this compilation CD, which I bought from one of the nice stores in Solvang, and one of my all-time favorite Sinatra compilation CDs.



Listening to all these songs that are perfectly interpreted in a swinging fashion makes me want to put my best foot forward and start dancing to my heart's delight! He sings with enthusiasm that is as infectious as it is overwhelming, and on an instant the listener is transported back to the Dance Band Era.



My personal choices include memorable songs such as "The Song Is You," "You Make Me Feel So Young," "Come Fly With Me," "Night And Day," "I've Got The World On A String," "All Of Me" and "I've Got You Under My Skin."



This is a delightfully wholesome and beautifully enjoyable compilation CD to savor now and forever!
