  Need a Frank Sinatra recommendation
The wife wants a Frank Sinatra CD for Christmas so I think..."sounds easy enough." Too many CD's to guess with so I thought I'd ask. She wants a best of type compilation, I want a good recording. Also, please recommend a few regular issue CD's (not best of) of his which I can look for later as well.
Thanks,
MaxCast

If you really want to hear Sinatra at his vocal best, you have to go very early '50s and '40s. When he was with Dorsey, he was amazing. He only sings, of course, on half the song length, because, obviously, Dorsey was the big deal. Sinatra was over from the late '50s to My Way and the ubiquitous, NY,NY. That is definitely not Sinatra-type song. Liza Minelli, maybe. I know, I know, fans will go nuts. I am a fan, and he never sounded better or close to it then in those early years. That's not to say he was small change later, but not the same voice.
