SINATRA LOVE SONGS
Make
room for another Frankie album in your 200+ Sinatra discography
with Sinatra Love Songs. Pulling from ol' Blue Eyes' Columbia
years (1943-1952), Columbia/Legacy Records offers up a remixed
and remastered collection of his best renditions of standards
penned by the likes of Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, the Gershwins,
Rodgers & Hart, and Cahn & Stein. This is Sinatra at his best,
when he was still "singing" in his younger days. (By the time
I was able to see him live in 1984, he was basically speaking
the words.)
Love
Songs is the perfect gathering of recordings for that lazy Sunday
morning when you just want to stay in bed with your sweetie in your
arms. "Falling In Love With You" begins your listening pleasure
with its smooth orchestra of strings. It's followed by the melodic
"(Just One Way To Say) I Love You." Then cuddle up closer to Frank's
1944 recording of "Embraceable You."
Its
easy to see how Sinatra made bobby soxers swoon with songs like
"They Say It's Wonderful," "Fools Rush In," "I am Loved," "Every
Man Should Marry," and "The Right Girl For Me"-even though only
three of these were chart topping hits in their day.
Crooners
have come and gone over the years, but none of them have been
able to match Frank in his early days, which is why Sinatra still
reigns supreme. Sit back, coo with your baby, and enjoy these
15 classic love songs. You can thank me later.
