Title: Vintage Sinatra
Review: In 1961, Frank Sinatra recorded a tribute album to late composer Tommy Dorsey who was a former collaborator with Sinatra early in his career. This album is a ragbag of nearly everything from jazzy tunes to sorrowful saloon songs to swinging, upbeat songs.This is a great time capsule of Sinatra's early Reprise years and a touching tribute to Dorsey as all the songs are renditions of songs Sinatra once recorded with Mr. Dorsey himself. The real highlights of the album are "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)," "Without a Song," and "I'll Be Seeing You." Sy Oliver arranged and conducted this album but also lent his voiced to the duet "The One I Love (Belongs to Somebody Else)." Mr Oliver sounds very much like Dean Martin and provides great vocal contrast to Sinatra. This is a very fine album, and any fan of Ol' Blue Eyes ought to have it in his or her collection.
