    Sinatra sets the trends in art of singin

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 4, 2002

    Its impossible to nominate one singer as the candidate for the best vocalist of the century but Sinatra at least has the potential to qualify the top position. The songs in this album I have dug for years scrupulously and here I am some one who has e...xplored virtually every senior performer of this century ;Beatles,Beach boys,Guess Who,CCR, Rolling Stones, Queen, Elvis, Armstrong,Ella Fitzgerald,Sarah Vaughn, billy Holiday..................
    ....Madonna et al and the rest I expect the reader to surmise . This anthology is sufficient to reveal Sinatra the premier vocalist who can arrest a tune and master it like few can. I doubt any rock star would dare to jump into a Cole porter no:I get a kick out of you. Ok you think I am crazy? I have met many who can play opening lines of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata-how many would dare the third movement? Hardly any. I have done two versions of Irving Berlins 'Cheek to Cheek',as an amatuer crooner in UK ,I never dared a Cole Porter tune. Only discerning musicians know this. He wrote perplex cord arrangements for Sinatra and Sintra worked out the interpretation;it was an epoch in the making of a musical chapter in American musical History . Each track has been treated as a custom product few artists can only dream.Tracks no:5,7,8,9,10 are Sinatra's pinnacle and enough for any one who wishes only one collection. all of them penned years before his time , recreated by him for pleasure to last far into future.. the tattered universal couduit of emotion,"I love you " is refreshed by Sinatra like no one else because he has integrity and purity to pour over the song. Give a love song to Engelbert and he will stuff it into jars of sugar and honey and Tom Jones will be wrestling with the tune to show off his Baritone potential . Sinatra's philosophy is simple and pragmatic:no messing around just get the job done and hs does it well cos he is the 'Boss' ..you know !!thats why they say he might not be everyones cup of tea but hardly any one can deny he is-"Voice of the century"WAQAR A CHEEMACOMMENTS WELCOMEemail: waqarc@hotmail.com

    Buy this CD!

    Here they are, the all-time classics from Sinatra, all on one great collection. Some purists may scoff at the compilation, preferring the original albums. You can not, however, listen to this collection and help but simply smile. I have Sinatra on V...inyl, CD and Cassette, some originals from the Capital years, and this collection tops them all. Whether a newcomer to The Chairman, or a seasoned listener, you will appreciate this CD. It's a testament to one of the great artists of the 20th, or of any, century. Read more Less
