Performer: Frank Sinatra
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Personnel: Frank Sinatra (vocals). Documenting the initial rise to fame of perhaps the 20th century's greatest male pop vocalist, this four-CD box set features 80 of Frank Sinatra's early big-band and solo recordings. Included are many of his 1939 and 1940 releases for the bandleaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, as well as hits such as "I'll Never Smile Again" and the wartime favorite "I'll Be Seeing You." Previously unreleased outtakes of "From the Bottom of My Heart" and "All the Things You Are" are also featured, as well as a variety of rare radio recordings from throughout the '40s. This is Sinatra at his early best, brimming with youthful confidence and romance on such classic sides as "Hello Young Lovers," "Embraceable You," and "April in Paris."
JazzTimes (p.102) - "What is here are the hits....[With] a bevy of rarities and radio transcriptions that find Frank skillfully handling such unlikely fare as 'No Love, Nothin' and 'The Trolley Song.'"
An icon of American music, Frank Sinatra defined sophisticated pop singing of the post-war era and spent more than 50 years in the limelight. After formative stints with Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, and others, Sinatra shot to worldwide fame through hit records and Hollywood movies. His hip, laid-back delivery defined cool, yet he also had a down-to-earth manner that connected easily with audiences. Ups and downs would follow him throughout his career--the details of his private life were not always fit for public consumption--but right up till the end, every comeback strengthened the intense loyalty of his fans.
