Castle Rock
Performer: Frank Sinatra
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Compilation producers: Didier C. Deutsh, Charles L. Granata. Recorded between 1945 & 1951. Digitally remastered by Darcy M. Proper (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). This collection of classic Frank Sinatra recordings from the 1940s and '50s highlights the apparent ease with which the singer switched between smoothly sophisticated songs like Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine," novelty songs like "The Coffee Song," and the after-hours blues of "One More for My Baby," as well as emphasizing his still-maturing vocal style. "Castle Rock" is a take from Sinatra's 1951 reunion with Harry James, while the charming "Nancy With the Laughing Face" was written for the singer's daughter by comedian Phil Silvers.
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.
