Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Very simple yet wonderful. I have a soft spot for this era of music and movies because I wish I grew up in this time (for everything except the racism). Has an objective and theme and doesn’t deviate from it throughout the entire album. No random keyboard nonsense and 8 minute drag-on songs. Efficient art that does its job, just what I enjoy.

Listening to this all the way through in one sitting feels like watching a black and white movie. It’s very dramatic and romantic, but… I would never choose to listen to this

Pretty good but extremely dated

Iconic sound, classic crooner tracks. I can't be unhappy with this playing. Big voice, big backing sound, hell yeah

Not bad. Everything kind of sounds the same though

these are just old movie songs

I get the importance, voice is stunning but the songs all sound the same just kinda boring overall

<3

I don’t know if I find a lot of high highs here among the swing love songs, but also it’s got a very good baseline of quality and it really is just that easy to listen to Frank Sinatra hit the standards like a complete professional. Great big band behind him, whole thing sounds incredibly warm, could easily imagine the appeal of cosying up with your fellow swingin’ lover/s and putting this on.

clasicalllll

5.5/10

How can you not like some Frank Sinatra? He’s ann American music icon and this is a classic album - easy to listen to, brining almost a comforting nostalgia for a time I didn’t even live through. The only knock I have is that it seemed like one long song over the whole album with little variation. 4⭐️

Interesting listen. Very much out of my standard lane. Still enjoyed but likely wont re-listen often in the future.

More Frank Sinatra. Again he has a great voice and the songs are fine. I don't really have an ear for this stuff at all – it's charming and pleasant but just blends together, especially across fifteen songs. Like an uncultured swine, I just recognise the song Anything Goes from Fallout 3. I can imagine it's great music for a sunny day, which it unfortunately wasn't today!

As this was the first album to hit the No. 1 spot in the UK charts it deserves to be in this list for that reason alone. However, with the voice of Frank who could possibly dislike it. I don’t think I’ve ever listened all the way through one of his albums before today. With so many classic “standards” this is an easy and gentle listen. It also acts as an ear cleanser after some of the brash and antagonistic stuff we have endure on here too often.

Ahhhh Frank you velvet voiced creep. Tricky to hate this - the arrangements are lovely, his voice is lovely, the whole vibe is just lovely. I like the fact that most of the songs are under the 3 min mark - however, it does get a bit samey after a while.

Im glad this process made me go back to this record - when i finished going through my biggest Sinatra binge I left the mid ‘50s stuff as nice but not essential, but I guess I’ve become even more susceptible to these swingin’ ballads in the years since, because I absolutely bloody loved this (with the possible exception of ‘makin’ whoopee’). For 40 minutes it’s the ‘50s and the world isn't ending and love is all ❤️

Own It (CD) - A lot of gems here. This is a masterclass in song interpretation and arrangement. Nelson Riddle and Sinatra created the blueprint for vocals and big band in Sinatra's early years at Capitol. After 1955s "In the Wee Small Hours," this album is decidedly more pop-oriented. It includes one of my favorite Sinatra/Riddle tracks in "Pennies from Heaven," as well as a masterful and overlooked interpretation of "We'll Be Together Again." As a curated collection, this album doesn't disappoint. And although I prefer the more introspective Sinatra, I can't give this less than 5 stars.

First listen Saved 8/15

Undeniably one of the greatest vocalists of all time. This is an essential album from the crooning era of pop from the 50’s/60’s and lives up to that fully. Picking a favourite song was so hard.

This is Frank Sinatra as everyone knows him. Swaggering, romantic, and generally just a cool guy. Songs For Swinging' Lovers! almost sounds like a compilation album, there are that many well known hits or standards. While enjoyable, I can't say that this album is anything truly exciting. Absolutely essential, because A: Frank Sinatra and B: it's objectively a pleasant album, but I don't know that I'd add this to my rotation.

“Ring a ding ding, you make my heart swing” - and other shit like that for an hour. Frank had a nice voice, but I just don’t connect to the crooners at all.

I totally appreciate this and it’s absolutely fine for what it is, but just isn’t my thing.

Pretty good, this guy can sing!

i mean its good but frank didnt even write any of these songs so how am i supposed to rate it high. i like pennies from heaven a lot though

Ayyyyyyy Frankie bro this shit has “makin whoopee” on it

70 years later and this album still sounds beautiful and i dont think it ever will be the opposite gorgeous music to say the less

My opinion is the same as the Little Richard disc I already listened to: it's a collection of previously released singles rather than a cohesive album. And while I'd rate each individual track as excellent, there's a formulaic sameness that crops up. Same tempo, same arrangements, same subject matter. It's Sinatra, though, so I can't hate it

3.5

Classic songs, amazing voice and phrasing ... if only Sinatra wrote songs.

Fun listen, great background music for the right mood. Not really my style, but its a cool change of pace

Top review sums it up perfectly. All sounded similar, yet I never stopped feeling pleasant while listening to it. I looked out the window in my new uni accommodation. My anxieties went away, and I felt more optimistic. That was nice

NTL

In all honesty and i hope i don’t get beat up in a back alley because of this but once you hear one Sinatra song on this record, you’ve basically heard the rest. He has one of the best and most iconic voices of all time but his phrasing gets so predictable and you know exactly what moves he’s going to pull. It doesn’t make for the most exciting listen. There are loads of songs in this style that i like loads more but there’s no denying Frank, but he’s gotten enough flowers over the years and i don’t feel terrible sparing him some of mine.

L'un des albums les plus vieux de la liste, voire le plus vieux (je crois avoir vu la pochette d'un autre album de Sinatra qui prédate celui-ci d'un ou deux ans). 70 ans au compteur, quand même, cet album a l'âge d'être grand-père ! Parlons sérieusement. Le jazz vocal, c'est pas trop mon truc. J'aime le jazz quand les instruments sont à l'avant, quand les instrumentistes sont libres d'expérimenter et de sortir des solos stratosphériques. Le jazz vocal permet beaucoup moins ça, puisque le chant est en avant. Alors, je suis quand même réceptif à certaines vieilleries, comme Russ Morgan ou Paul Whiteman (merci The Caretaker), mais voilà, c'est pas tout à fait mon truc. Cela dit, ça reste quand même très bien fichu. Bien interprété, bien chanté, c'est entraînant, on sent que c'est fait pour la danse, tout en restant agréable à écouter assis dans son fauteuil... Donc on peut dire que j'ai passé un bon moment à l'écoute.

I didn't mind the other Frank Sinatra album on this list but Songs For Swingin' Lovers! Felt a bit like a trip to a slightly smug museum.

It just ain't my thing.

What a classic for my first album. Thoroughly enjoyed listening. Reminds me of growing up and my dad playing loads of Sinatra and the rat pack music. Tracks saved: You’re Getting To Be a Habit With Me Pennies From Heaven I’ve Got You Under My Skin

Not my taste

Lovely voice old Frankie boy

09/04 Meh. Was okay. A lot of Sinatra songs sound the same to me

Frank Sinatra’s Songs for Swingin’ Lovers! is packed with standards so familiar and buoyant they practically grab you by the collar and pull you into a better mood. It’s the kind of album that makes you wander into the kitchen, interrupt whatever your wife is trying to finish for dinner, and spin her around for a quick dance before the timer goes off. Maybe the soufflé suffers, maybe it doesn’t—but honestly, a few minutes swaying to Ol’ Blue Eyes is worth the culinary risk. This is classic Sinatra: charming, effortless, and undeniably fun.

Exactly what you expect and you want from a Sinatra album. Really fun.

Track By Track You Make Me Feel So Young - I know it well. It’s quite fun! Just straight run of the mill stuff, not amazing or one of my favourites. Great woodwind trills by the way. It Happened In Monterey - he’s a great singer for this genre for sure. Classy, y’know. A real class is emerging through this album. This one sounds like a lot of other standards. But didn’t dislike. You’re Getting To Be A Habit With Me - got a nice slower walk. They all do have a very similar structure though! You Brought A New Kind Of Love - Bit More smoky vibe here. This is lovely inoffensive jazz. Great accompaniment from the orchestra. Swells and little boops. Too Marvellous For Words - nice, fun. Same stuff! Old Devil Moon - it’s a vibe, but I think there are better slow standards. Quite nice though Pennies From Heaven - kind of liked the concept and whimsy of this. A bit Mary Poppins. Love Is Here To Stay - blends seamlessly into the record. Sounds like any of the other songs. But I don’t mind, like it! I’ve Got You Under My Skin - I mean. This is great. Brilliant accompaniment from the orchestra and particularly the horns. I Thought About You - happy yearning. Quite sweet. We’ll Be Together Again - Nice tempo, plodding. Great jazzy background one. Easy on the ears. Makin’ Whoopee - quite good, fun again. Clearly paving the way for Cardi B. It think this was her reference point. Swingin’ Down The Lane - a good time had by all. Strolling down the street. It’s like singin in the rain vibe. Anything Goes - quite nice version. Cole Porter, great songwriter. How About You? - very smooth, classy ending. Lovely Overall Review: It’s great background music for doing whatever, mostly. Pottering. Also I feel it would be great in a classy club in the ‘50s or ‘60s. I liked it. 3.5, rounded up :) Either 3 or 4, really, depending on the day. Favourite Songs: I’ve Got You Under My Skin, How About You?

Love me some Frank Sinatra

Great album overall. I think I got a bit fatigued by the last quarter of the album or so, which is keeping this from being 5 stars for me. But it's still something I'm glad I listened to

Starts strong, steady sound throughout.

oho. interesting that i'm getting this so soon after the count basie album. i genuinely have no idea how i'm going to feel about this the melodies he sings are.... unpredictable in a way i like? i don't know how to describe it. like he's sort of circling around the song melody in interesting ways i mean yeah he has one of the voices of all time. i liked You Make Me Feel So Young a lot. so far the rest of this has been nice but not standing out to me too much. funnily i really like the instrumentals on Old Devil Moon but not the vocals/lyrics as much i'm realizing i like my swing/jazz at least a little melancholy. if the song is too happy i'm usually less into it. this might be my fault for being a gloomy motherfucker and coming to this kind of music via post-apocalyptic media, lmao i said that and had high hopes for We'll Be Together Again but it didn't really click in the way i was hoping :( lmao i don't know if Makin' Whoopee has aged well. it is hard to take seriously. but it's fun, i'm enjoying it, and it's making me laugh yessssss Anything Goes. classic. i think i've only ever heard other peoples' versions of this? i think this is a good example of the sort of... playful singing style i'm enjoying here How About You is really good too i don't know! i liked this, and there are some tracks i really enjoy, but a lot of it didn't make a huge impression on me. there are also other sinatra songs that i prefer to stuff on here (had to take a detour after the album finished to go listen to Strangers In The Night, and am really liking a lot of the other stuff on that album way more). to a certain degree i think there's an aspect here where i have a hard time having a strong opinion, because it's *so* classic and foundational that it's hard for me to evaluate on its own, outside the context of the massive amount of stuff it led to and inspired. take the 3 i'm giving this as 'i generally like this and think it is objectively good but it left me a little cold'

2nd Sinatra album from the generator. Every song here sounds almost the same but I guess that's just the genre's fault. What a random Webster's Dictionary mention on one song tho 2/5

Apex Sinatra. Great choice of songs (Cole Porter rules!) and Riddle's arrangements are great--a bit stringy for me but still great. Band swings, Frank swings, no wonder the lovers swing.

I was kind of blown away: by the arrangements and orchestration as much as by Sinatra himself. A totally immersive experience, and just the right song choices from the great American songbook.

Of course it's dated. That doesn't mean it's not good.

Favorite Track: You Make Me Feel So Young

Ага) З нього і починається вся книжка)

Never thought of myself as a fan of Old Blue Eyes, but I loved this! Some familiar tunes, and I found myself tapping along to the bass line throughout.

Guys, I'm always gonna be a Frank fan. Great album, great vibes, feels good. Do I need to say more? There is no fault with this album. It's perfect. Fav Track: Love Is Here To Stay

Comparing this to Wee Small Hours, I much prefer Songs for Swingin' Lovers. The boistrous energy and happy attitude was infectious, I found myself happily nodding along and moving while I did work at my desk. Frank Sinatra falls into a cursed land where every track sounds reallllly similar. It makes it difficult to tell when one song starts and ends, especially if you aren't paying close attention. I would happily play this in the bakcground if I was craving a romantic, jazzy vibe. Rating this a 3.5, but leaning towards a 4 because I would play it again if the mood was right. Favorite Tracks: You Make Me Feel So Young It Happened in Monterey Too Marvelous for Words Love is Here To Stay

You Make Me Feel There Are Songs To Be Sung 1001 Albums Generator 339 (8/31/2026) This is Frank at his most fun and joyful, and it's really good. I love hearing his crooning voice over something happy and full of love as opposed to his other album we listened to, which was much more sad. With that said, I think that a 50's crooner album can only be so good for me, and that puts this at about a 3/5. Favs: You Make Me Feel So Young You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me I've Got You Under My Skin Least Fav: Makin' Whoopee

#87 Pleasant enough, but every song sounds the same. A relic of its time. Highlights: I've Got You Under My Skin, You Make Me Feel So Young

Phenomenal album from start to finish. The songs are definitely swingin', and the album never lets up. Frank at his best.

Enjoyed

Again, even at 39 I feel like I'm far too young to really "get" this album or even the music of this time period in general properly. It's very easy listening and non-offensive, albeit very samey throughout the album. Anyway, I wasn't annoyed by this and this is basically the best this kind of music gets, so eh, I guess it's all right?

I hear swingers either decorate with pineapples or paint the rocks at the end of their driveway white. Either way, most swingers I know would listen to this.

Old people music... I loved it.

Great album. Upbeat Sinatra classics. He's considered a classic voice for a reason, and it's on full display here. I'd put it behind Wee Small Hours. You Make Me Feel So Young Pennies From Heaven I've Got You Under My Skin Makin' Whoopee Anything Goes

What can you say? The man, the myth, the legend. So much so that it's hard to evaluate this album solely on its musical merits.

Nice swingy big band feel to this one, works really well with Sinatra's voice. Shame that every song sounds the same, as well as the old recording not being the best

i do enjoy frank sinatra but more like background music. nothing stuck out as a favorite or a least favorite.

Making whoopie, bit crass frank

I’ve never actually listened to Sinatra before but I knew a lot of these songs.

Don't think I've listened to a full Sinatra album before. It's as smooth as I expected. Seth MacFarlane does a great Sinatra impression and I didn't realize how good it was until I heard this album.

2.5 - This is fine. Perhaps better if you're in a fine Italian restaurant or something. I couldn't listen to this often.

Old Frankie Blue Eyes never fails. Endlessly re-listenable. 5/5

There are 15 songs here, and to be frank (heh), they're all kind of the same song, but it's not a bad song. The arrangements are nice, the production is polished, and Frank sounds like a glass of warm milk. In terms of background music to have on when you're doing other things, you can do a lot worse.

"You Make Me Feel So Young" and "I've Got You Under My Skin" are simply amazing.

Padrão Sinatra.

romantiko tito boy

Espero no tener que pasar por esto nunca más Nota: 2.7

This album incorporates a lot of jazz, which I'm not particularly inclined to. The sound reminds me of the black and white comedy cartoon movies, a feature that's really fun in my opinion. I'm not a really big fan of this album, but it's more of a personal taste rather than anything else.

I did not want to listen to this. It’s Frank Sinatra, obligatory 3

Love it. Smooth, full of heart.

Legend. We need more of this music in the modern world. Too much of the same to give this 5 stars but all in all a great album.

Usually listen to a bit of Frank over Christmas but any time outside that this kind of music just doesn't appeal to me

Sinatra twice in one month, I’m feeling like Lauren Bacall at this point. The album is basically a greatest hits collection, and he's at his absolute best here. That signature swagger is dialed all the way up, and with those lush arrangements from Nelson Riddle, it’s impossible not to get swept up in the vibe. It’s like a warm, classy time machine straight to a 50s cocktail party. That said, listening to the whole thing in one go can get a bit repetitive since the style never really changes. It’s perfect for background music, but I’m not sure it’s something I’ll be putting on for an active listening session that often. Still, when I want that classic, smooth jazz sound, Ol' Blue Eyes is impossible to beat.

I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your grandparents are gonna love it

Didnt like it. Its too old, the lyrics and melody aint all that so yeah

The best at it, what a voice, complete vibe curator and all time Karaoke hit writer. That being said, making whoopee has gotta be one of the wettest phrases ever. 4.5/5.0 Best Song: under my skin

Big band bangers, from the king. It is so lovely and easy to listen to

Amo jazz, amo o Sinatra. A voz dele aquece-me como o vinho 🫶🏻

I’m allegedly distantly related to this guy who punched Sinatra in the face, and I can say I’m not too upset about that. If I ever doubt the Beatles' impact on music, I will listen to this album to remind me of what a dark time it was before them (for pop, that is.) This is just the same song repeated fifteen times. Every songwriting choice is blander than the last, and the only salvaging factor is that Sinatra has a good voice. I’ve never been so utterly disinterested in an album before.

soooooo many trumpets god

Tellement down

Some Sinatra classics and songs I’m familiar with but prefer other recordings of. Makes sense to be on this list. 3.5/5

7/10 Frank Sinatra was an absolute master of his craft. His buttery smooth tones, charismatic swagger and slight touch of arrogance convincingly sell songs with incredible ease. This record, his tenth, and the first ever album to top the UK album charts, is no exception. Unlike Elvis Presley's debut, released just a couple of weeks later, this record has a timeless quality that seems to make it feel almost as fresh and relevant today as it did back then. Yes, musically, it's very much of its time, but it doesn't feel like this record has been left behind or surpassed in the intervening 70 years. People are still making swing jazz like this, and not bettering it, which is quite the achievement. The arrangements from Nelson Riddle are of exceptional quality, building lovely dynamics against Sinatra's lead, with moments of punch and groove making way for smoother, more sultry passages. I frequently found myself tapping my feet or dancing around the kitchen as this played, and, while the quality across the full album didn't always maintain its highest level, there was always enough in there to enjoy, even during its slightly weaker cuts. As you would expect, the musicianship from the band is excellent, and I was a particular fan of the subtle pieces of piano work that danced around Sinatra's vocal with an understated flair. There were equally some lovely moments from the bass, when Joe Comfort was given the freedom to take it on a stroll, which gave a great focus and power to the groove. Ultimately, where this album will succeed or fail with a listener is how much this style of music speaks to them. For me, this was very much a case of enjoyment and appreciation, rather than being able to truly fall in love with the work. The standard is consistently high, but stylistically, it is very much all within a narrow band, so there's not too much excitement or variation outside of that to cling on to. I tend to prefer my music with a bit more bite, and with vocal jazz like this, I'd rather sit with an Ella Fitzgerald or Nina Simone record, but that doesn't mean that I can't appreciate both the quality of this record and its importance to recorded music history. It's a very, very good record that I enjoyed a great deal, but isn't one that I'm likely to revisit all that often. You Make Me Feel So Young - It kind of goes without saying that Frank has a buttery smooth vocal tone, and the swagger to match. This is just lush and beautifully put together. It's not vastly exciting, but as easy listening swinging vocal jazz, it's pretty much perfect. It Happened In Monterey - The laid back pace of this is delicious and the piano in particular is so deftly and subtly delivered to lean into that relaxed approach. The horns give it punch and dynamic range, so it's far from flat and again, it's just a really well arranged and performed piece. You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me - This takes a more subtle approach to melody, so becomes a bit more floaty and meandering. The orchestration also makes it feel quite Christmassy, which may be more due to the amount of Christmas music that's had this style in the intervening 70 years. Not bad, but a bit more bland. You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me - This one leans back again and has a bit more of a melodic focus, as well as a slightly more free jazz sound to the arrangement. There's punch in places, as well as moments where things just settle back in, but again, the melodic strength of the opening couple of tracks hasn't quite been recaptured just yet. Too Marvelous For Words - There's some lovely piano playing dancing around Frank's lead here, and we're going back towards something with a more consistent melodic focus. There's some nice work during the instrumental break too. I'm certainly not having a bad time with this, but it's also not really blowing my socks off yet. Old Devil Moon - The subtle, strolling groove to this is nice, and Frank drags everything with him as he slowly ramps up his power and pitch, before settling back again. There are more fun bits of instrumental work in the breaks too. Pennies From Heaven - An absolute classic now. The punctuation from the brass is delicious, and the strolling bass line is pop jazz perfection. The vocal melody is incredibly strong and, as always, is delivered with aplomb by Mr Sinatra. The blend of groove and buttery smooth love song melodic work is so good. Love Is Here To Stay - Back to something a touch more melodically meandering now. It's still brilliantly executed, and again, there's some superb piano work (from Bill Miller, apparently, although that took a bit of digging) that dances around the lead vocal in a deft and controlled way. I've Got You Under My Skin - This dances around nicely in the melody, but each time gathers itself back up again to meet at the central motif of the song title. The arrangement is of great quality with considered dynamic range and a lovely flow through the composition. More solid stuff. I Thought About You - So smooth. The instrumental give this little bits of punch and groove, but Frank just lounges over the top, keeping everything tight under his spell. His style is effortless, but packed with charisma and charm. The arrangement acts as a perfect foil for his vocal. Coolness personified. We'll Be Together Again - This is a bit more morose, but the sense of longing that is delivered in the vocal is great. It's one that feels a bit more melodically loose and meandering, so it doesn't hit quite as well as the choicest cuts on the record, but it obviously maintains the swagger despite that. Makin' Whoopee - Oh, he's so cheeky. It's easy to look back on this as if it was possibly controversial, but the song was nearly 30 years old at the time of this recording. Lyrically, it's misogynistic crap, but it's a solid tune. The synchronicity of the melody and backing is pretty much as good here as it is anywhere on the album. Some of the runs and punctuation motifs in the instrumental are absolute gold, and all hit against the vocal brilliantly. Swingin' Down The Lane - An anthem for doggers? Another lovely, strolling bass line here. It perhaps leans a bit more away from the vocal into instrumental work, but it's all great, laid back stuff. It's so easy to listen to, the grooves and performances are great. As with much of the record, I don't love it, but it's such a comfortable listen that it's almost impossible to dislike. Anything Goes - Another swinging groove with a solid bounce and some excellent melodic work. It's laid back in some regards, but also has a lot of life and a cheeky edge to the vocal that marries those aspects well. The use of pitch to build up the melody with the punch and dynamic of the instrumental is great, and gives the track a great flow. How About You? - This recalls Pennies From Heaven to me, but without quite the same level of hook in the melody. It's still got a great feel to it, and the groove has got oodles of swagger and swing. It's kind of weird to have the previous song explicitly referencing ending the record, but then having this track after it, but hey, who cares. Another solid, enjoyable cut that I've tapped my foot too and fully enjoyed, without falling fully in love with it.

Felt like I was getting a cut and a shave at an ole timey Long Island Mob barbershop. Pleasant, enjoyable, obviously a classic voice! Very subtle.

Peak easy listening

Is this for lovers who swing? Felt like I was listening with my grandparents

old ass music. not bad though if you put yourself in the mood

Downgraded a star for Making Whoopee and Anything Goes. Liked I thought about you and How About You though

j'ai adoré

C’est plutôt sympathique

too old for me

4.5 It’s Franky, baby!

Not a lot of variety, except "making whoopee," which is definitely worth a further deduction

Completely fine, Sinatra's voice is nice, but I prefer his slower songs

meh

Very nice, but just very nice. I think you have to be in the mood to appreciate it further.

Primero que escucho de Frank Sinatra en mi vida. Se entiende por qué es considerado un grande. No es mi estilo, pero pegadizos temas. 6/10

This was the best one of his on the list Will I listen to again: 30%

An incredible voice for big band music and nothing new for me. Not really music I listen to often but when the right song plays at the right time there is nothing like it.

Voce incredibile e strumentazione altrettanto,però è figlio del suo tempo e le canzoni sembrano tutte uguali

Misogynistic artists never cease to bore me; it is simply classic jazz paired with garbage lyrics. I fail to understand why Frank Sinatra's songs are praised as romantic and easy listening. Listening to this album achieves nothing but giving me a headache.

Everything in this album is so meticulously planned and yet sounds so carefree and effortless. Franks voice is so smooth and enjoyable. It’s a great collection of some of the best love songs ever written.

Its Frank.

4.5 STARS classic, not always my favourite type of music but it's timeless vibe must be appreciated

Ideal Sinatra

Big dih energy Quel mood, quelle voix. Mais les musiques se ressemblent et j’en ferai pas un album légendaire

Ough I’m such a showtune faggot. Not much to say it’s rlly just good ass big band that makes me wanna dance and sing like one of those 1950s musical fellas. I will say tho pennies from heaven sounds weird but I’m just used to the Louis Prima version. In terms of favorite songs my top is probably anything goes, but you make me feel so young, love is here to stay, and I’ve got you under my skin are all top songs for me.

I think this should be the definition of Juvenoia.

Una piedra angular del swing y el pop tradicional que ha envejecido bien como la máxima expresión del optimismo orquestal. En el plano de diseño formal, los legendarios arreglos de Nelson Riddle construyen un entretejido que da claridad a la interacción sónica, permitiendo que el empuje de los metales y la sección rítmica convivan con impecable definición frente al micrófono. La entrega de Frank Sinatra proyecta una fuerza y calidez que transmiten autenticidad e imponen una autoridad superior mediante un fraseo relajado y una precisión rítmica insuperable. Clásicos imperecederos como el dinamismo rejuvenecedor de "You Make Me Feel So Young" y la insuperable tensión de "I've Got You Under My Skin" configuran un testimonio conmovedor y de pronto fantasioso (romántico), que funciona como un sutil llamado a la conciencia sobre la alegría de vivir y la ilusión del afecto. Un álbum de cadencia contagiosa cuya constante sensación de paz y fluidez lo vuelve óptimo para múltiples usos, destacando como un motor fantástico para acompañar el ejercicio, la conducción o energizar el trabajo creativo.

big band + frank gets old kinda quick

Album #238 Frank Sinatra: Songs For Swinging Lovers Sinatra is my portal into a lost world, a world that, much like Jonathan Richman, I yearn for. I understand that most of the people in the 50s were just as debaucherous and filthy as we are today, but you know what, at least they presented themselves as being sophisticated. We as a society have let the standards drop so low that I think today people would show up to a Sinatra show with pyjamas and Hot Cheetos. I’m far from pretentious, but I do appreciate the sanctity of the public sphere, and I think every now and then it would be nice to pretend that I’m well put together and go listen to some crooning. Alas, the closest I’m going to get is sitting in my bedroom alone, listening to a Sinatra album meant for people to fuck to, and imagine as if my life is as important as Sinatra’s voice makes it feel. Best Songs: You Make Me Feel So Young, Too Marvellous For Words, Anything Goes Worst Song: Makin’ Whoopee Score out of 10: 8

Meh

A phenomenal album. Makes you want to hit the town during the summer with your lover by your side

bangers all around

"I'm walking into the bar, I see some good looking broads. I say 'hey, give me a drink.'" Great songs

This music is super cute I loved it. Singalong loveliness. How can you not like it?

Es más largo de lo que debería ser, en sí los temas son buenos pero al durar 40 minutos se empieza a sentir repetitivo

not exactly my thing but still cool gotta put respect on his name

vaca come back

Simply gorgeous. Used to listen to this genre of music on repeat for years, and this brings me back... Under My Skin was also my favorite song at one point, so extra points for that.

Smooth voice singing other people's songs. Fine, but just fine I don't get the hubbub. Mediocre really.

it's Frank Sinatra the vocal talent is never in doubt, I think I'll like this when I have more life experience honestly

En vaan millään jaksa innostua Sinatran musiikista. Varmaan sopii hyvin kermaperseiden illalliskutsuille, mutta en minä tätä halua kuunnella.

This man must have ploughed down my god

Nää biisit ei kertonukkaan parinvaihdosta?? :<

you're getting to be a habit with me oli jotenki tosi söötti. romantillisia ylipäätään. aluksi meinas ärsyttää levy, selkeesti nyt oon jotenki ollu kärttymoodilla ylipäätään näiden kaa! mutta oli kyllä raskasta taas jaksaa kuunnella koko levy. kaikki biisit kuulosti samalta. aivan harmiton kokonaisuus ja leffaisaa jne ymmärän historiallisesti varsinki merkityksen ja wow-faktorin mutta mulle ei kyllä nyt nappassu.

Mulla on vähän ristiriitanen fiilis tästä levystä. Sinällään tykkään Frank Sinatran musasta kovastikin, mut tälleen levykokonaisuutena käy vähän monotoniseksi mössöksi. Sinatra on mulle jo vuosia siivousmusaa, mut tälleen ilman oheisaktiviteettia vähän turhan harmitonta musaa.

Vähän semmonen et kun oli kuullu yhen oli kuullu kaikki. Mut komea on ääni ja hienoja puhallinjuttuja. Mut kovasti meinaa jäädä taustamusaksi sit kuitenkin.

Ikoninen ääni, ikoninen saundi. Mutta Mikke jo spoilaskin vähän ennen ku aloin kuunteleen että ”kun oot kuullut yhden biisin, oot kuullut ne kaikki”. Ehkä en vaan ”osaa kuunnella” tarpeeksi tuota, mutta puuroutuu. Yksittäisinä biiseinä hyviäkin, kokonaisena albumina mössöä.

Meh. Preferred the previous frank album. This was boring.

Not my thing

Brilliant album and I listened on my walk on a sunny Sunday. Great vocal delivery, lyrics top notch and musically on point.

This is The Voice singing mainly jazzy love standards, with only a single ballad. For an artist with a two-decade run at the top, being the top album of that run is something remarkable. His vocal timbre, diction, and swaginess are at his peak. If there's a better example of The Great American Songbook than I haven't heard it.

It's utterly perfect. I'm obsessed.

It's fine, but this was never going to click with me. Easy and simple background music.

This guy would clean up at karaoke

Very soothing, easy listening. Just a but too samey for me.

Need to listen to it more, but gracious Sinatra's voice is so wonderfully engineered back even decades later.

Hard not to enjoy this

banco el swing. se me hizo re largo eso sí. pero banco.

My 6yo said "why are you listening to Christmas music" and was baffled to learn it wasn't. It's the only time we listen to Frank Sinatra in this house. It all sounds the same but that sound is great and an undeniable vibe. 3.5 stars but rounding down for once.

Dobre do sprzatania Podobalo sie i szybko zlatuje

I'm not a fan, sorry. Frank Sinatra can sing really well, I just don't like this kind of music.

He's not come under my skin, that's for sure. Still, comfortable, upbeat songs.

Loving Frank Sinatra vibe

This is interesting. I'm always a bit reluctant to award high marks to albums that are mostly or entirely based on material that is not original. However, I found this one really uplifting. Great instrumentation, great singing... So, in this case, I think I'll be giving this album 4 stars. In any case, it is definitely in the 3,5 range.

I feel like you could listen to any random song on this album to know it whole. The songs are do similar to each other I didn’t know when one song ends and another begun. The songs are good and fun but I feel like there is not enough variety.

Classic Frank!

I wonder if Makin' Whoopee was contronversial at the time?

It’s Frank.

프랭크 시나트라는 fly me to the moon으로 유명한 보컬팝, 스탠다드 팝 가수이기에 거부감 없이 들었던 것 같다. 너무 비슷한 트랙들이라 그냥 생각없이 앨범 통으로 듣기엔 좋지만 기억에 남는 건 없었다

Absolute classic album, full of vibrant horns, swing jazz chords up the wazoo, and Frank at his peak

First album! Love Frank Sinatra, this was so much fun to listen to start to finish

gooood but not my fav style

I enjoyed this, all the songs made me want to ballroom dance if I knew how! It was an easy listen for me, definitely would listen again.

It's alright

achei um album meio generico pro sinatra, nao que seja ruim, mas nada de especial. eu gosto das musicas dele mais "grandiosas" e soltando mais a voz, tipo em musicas como strangers in the night, the world we knew, thats life, etc... como a proposta desse album é mais swingin, foi bom pro que ele propos, mas nao é o sinatra que eu curto. nota 4,9

The least talented rat in the whole pack of rodents.

woopie

What a great album—so fun. Lots of standards and excellent ones I’d never heard. I’ll be coming back to this one.

Funny name aside, this was pretty good! Some classics that I knew by heart, some new to me. I never knew Frank Sinatra made a song about fucking.

Très très très comédie musicale core (ma came)

Bruh.

Undoubtedly one of the all time great voices but I do find the big band arrangements a bit tedious after a while. Some corny rhymes aswell! I wonder what he would have sounded like with a stripped back band/arrangements?!!

honestly, it's a fine album but it got really boring by the 6th song

Had trouble deciding between 3 and 4 for this one. It is a lot of fun but I have trouble divorcing his voice and performance from the style that he is arguably still the face of. It was surprisingly crude at parts though (makin whoopee) which was fun. Also the woman in the album cover has a very modern looking haircut (to me) which is interesting. Were women rocking the faux hawk in the 50s?

Bello disco. Un enorme cantante

No doubt extreme talent here from all parts. Orchestration is great, production value is high - the notes hit in all the right spots. In this regard approaching a 5. The issues I have are 1) these songs are so familiar and overused (especially movies) they are no longer engaging and 2) they all share same styling such that ends up feeling like one long song. He certainly had a brand and stuck with it. Did I enjoy listening to this? Yes. Would I put it on regularly? No. Does that make it a bad album? No. But it does mean I land on a 3. 3/5

Totally good stuff! I need to listen to it more before it jumps up in my brain, or maybe there are just some weaker selections than others.

To anyone that doesn't understand the Beatles importance, please listen to this... Will not be listening again! Great voice and beautiful arrangements, but it's not for me, it's too boring!

Did it feel like the same song on repeat for 45 minutes? Yes. Did I care? Not a bit. Can’t listen to Sinatra and not feel like a lead in a classic romantic movie. He has the best voice a maybe mobster has ever had.

What lovers don't want to swing every now and then? This album is a curious pick because I don't think it contains Sinatra's best material. However, his consistent style and vocal delivery give all Sinatra's albums a 3 star floor and a 4 star ceiling. Also, there is a song on here called "Makin Whoopee" which is objectively hilarious.

Was Frank Sinatra a total creep? Yes. Do all of his lyrics hold up in the modern day? No, absolutely not. But for me it’s still the soundtrack of love and romance, the earliest one I learned as a little girl standing on my grandfathers feet as we spun around the dance floor and feeling like the most special person in the universe. Also how can you not just giggle during Making Whoopee.

Gostei, mas parece uma única música.

Nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, is going to dissuade me from thinking that Sinatra is one of, if not the BEST, to ever do it. However, reading the low reviews for him on this site is pretty funny. I can’t imagine any other place to find someone call Sinatra’s songs “bollocks.”

7/10

Have never really been into Sinatra but damn, you can't deny the power of his voice. Unfortunately the songs all sound the same.

I laughed at how far I had to scroll down through the discography to get to this on streaming, lol. Nice enough to listen to; I'm familiar with a few of the songs at least, and I like those... Another one I probably won't go back to personally, but I get why it's on the list.

If these are Frank's songs for swingin' lovers, he must have had the most boring orgies. Whatever floats your boat, but I can't see the mood being enhanced by songs about how you shouldn't make whoopee with your wife as she may get pregnant. Musically, this does very little for me. As someone who is too monogamous and too engaged to my fiancee to go to many orgies, I am aware that I am not the target demographic for this, but I just found it to be bland and repetitive (which incidentally, is probably the opposite of what gatherings of swingin' lovers are like).

Every song I was like 'Oh that's from a movie / Family Guy' and that's all I have to say about that. Swangin'

I'm a simple man, I see one of the best Frank Sinatra albums I know what review is coming. Had a great time start to finish, as expected.

Probably the best crooner of all. There is a song on this album to impress your lady in about every aspect of the pursuit. After this album ends I'm heading to the TV to pull up reruns of the Ed Sullivan show and search for the RAT pack.

Can go wrong with old blue eyes and his velvety voice. Great big band opening with the familiar melody of “You Make Me Feel So Young.” Frank follows it up with a slower and more jazzy bang band number of “It Happened in Monterey.” The song pulls you in with its hypnotizing smooth bass blended with a trill and lively horn section making. The swoon continues with “Your Getting to be a Habit with Me” and correctly describing the power of his music with lyrics like “You got me in your clutches, and I can’t break free.” The mix of big band, orchestral, and jazzy numbers remind us the power weaving together so many complimentary pairing of instruments, especially the mood capturing horn section as in “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” Most of the album is a testament to Sinatra’s crooning ability to put anyone under his spell. Fathers, keep your daughters away from anyone with this album of incantations.

Classy. No complaints, just not something I’d ever put on myself to listen to.

The songs on here are exactly what you imagine when you hear the name “Frank Sinatra”. They all kinda blend together into the same song in the end, but it’s nice enough.

Very nice easy to listen to album.

3,3 Highlights: You Make Me Feel So Young, Love Is Here To Stay

Ah the Chairman Of The Board. You can take any album he has done, as long as it has one or two tracks people know, and pop it in a list, they are generally all the same. In The Wee Small Hours was something different but even then the later say reissue threw in Three Coins In A Fountain and Young At Heart as 'bonus tracks', they knew that without a couple you were familiar with nobody is buying it. At least Frank is pretty good, and pretty solid. There better be two Tony Bennett albums for every Sinatra one that made this list though

I lived this. It took me back in time. It made my afternoon walk just that little bit nicer. Sinatra's voice was smoother than honey on lino

Kind of songs I can sing alone in the car

Oh man ok... I do not like big band music. It does not do shit for me. I don't care if it's ballads, I don't care if it's jazz... is ska big band music? Typically the bands are big... well ska is mid anyway so my statement stands. Frank has an excellent voice but he is just such a product of his time. I feel like I've been transported to that part of Fallout 3 where you go into the simulation of the 50's neighborhood (but without the murder mystery subplot). But no matter what he does with his voice or lyrics (these are all love songs).. it's still going to be over the backdrop of some god damn Tom and Jerry ass music. Blah. I wouldn't mind being surprised though. There's no reason for this to be 15 songs long. "You're just too marvelous, too marvelous for words. Like 'glorious', 'glamorous', and that old standby 'amorous'" It's like when I hear the word "strife" in rap lyrics. You have never once said that word you just need something that rhymes with life. No one has ever called someone amorous. I hate a forced rhyme. I don't mind the band on Love Is Here to Stay I Thought About You is also good! I'll have to give him a reassessment, I'm simply not at all in the mood to be crooned to. 2/5, but I would like to come back and try again in another state of mind. The stories are cool too Favorite: I Thought About You Least: Makin' Whoopee Shoutout: Love Is Here to Stay

The first few songs were pretty pleasant background music, but around the ninth song I got bored. There are much worse albums on the list, but I didn't get much out of this.

Swing really peaked in the 1930s and this was released in 1956. by the 50s jazz was definitely moving into it's modern era and away from big bands and into smaller quartets. It's hard to believe that crooners are still going when we have the likes of Miles Davis or Art Blakey. It's just a bit bizarre that something like Benny Goodman's Sing, Sing, Sing (released in 1937) sounds so much more revolutionary compared to anything on this compilation album. It's not bad, it's just a conservative and bit dull. The band are good but they don't really get a chance to show off. Instead there is some guy singing on top of everything - blurring the line between an effortless performance and just being bored. All the arrangements leave zero oxygen for improvisation because every single note serves the vocal performance. Would people be "Makin' Whoopee" over this record if it didn't have a big name on it? Probably not. But is it the peak of this style? probably. 3/5

Further confirmation that my favourite Sinatra is Nancy.

Gostei

Excelente

Easy, enjoyable.

This is the second time for this one for me. The first time I gave it a 3 because it’s so well made. This time I realized while I just don’t feel Frank when I listen closely, and I want to go down to a 2, despite the great production and Frank’s amazing voice, if I leave it in the background, where I believe it’s really designed to be, yeah. It’s a 3 3 Boolean: true

Great kitchen music. But a lot of it sounds the same after awhile. Mid tempo, cool music. Frank's voice is undeniable. Liked it, not sure if I'd return to it but it was nice to get something on here that wasn't Brit-pop.

Nice as background music, altough its starts getting repetitive by the second half of the record.

Wish I could give this a 3.5, Frank is always good

Should compilations count as cheating? Who cares such a fun album

One of the greatest voices ever. Swagger and swing personified.

non l’ho ascoltato tutto, ma un bell’album di canzoni d’amore romanticissime. i suoi testi sono quasi poesie l’atmosfera però è natalizia

Bell’album dalle vibe invernali o primaverili

Nice album franky boy, enjoyed it. Feel free to send another “my way” (hahahahaha) whenever. Thanks to my boy Jasen for the clever word play aka wordy rappinghood P.s. thanks to my boy Jasen for the wordy rappinghood idea

Dethrones my previous & precious love for ‘Ring a Ding Dong’ as my favourite Sinatra record (I guess I have to have one fine it’s this) Bloody lovely stuff, never paid attention to the orchestration in these kind of records before this. Wonderful.

easy to listen to, and surprisingly contemporary despite how old the album is. this is very much the sound I associate with Sinatra—a smooth voice and a big band.

Absolute banger

Ouvi metade.

I already really like Frank Sinatra, so actually getting more into his music is exciting and a great way to start this music-listening journey. Also, I enjoy vocal pop a lot, so this is great. I didn't get a great listen to it though.

I don't get Sinatra

Sorry to say it, but I feel like a lot of people just have the old = good mindset. This, at least to me, is nothing I would put on. This is just hotel lobby music.

Et rart big band-album.

Whatever -

Ok - so the voice is undeniable. Smooth & precise. He can really sing & he evokes a 50s America like few if anyone else. But I don’t like the crooning smooching arrogance.

It sure do be about love. Kinda creepy though sometimes, Ol’ Blue Eyes.

Classic for a reason, great tunes and voice.

Every time I listen to my boy Frank, I have a Pavlovian response and salivate for unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks. It hits better when I'm eating chicken and gnocchi, otherwise pretty bland, but its smooth at least.

Damn it's peak I love Frank's voice sooooo much

Can't beat a bit of Farank

Interesting glimpse into the world before rock n roll! Great songs and especially liked hearing "Anything Goes" after liking the same-titled musical. It's perfect music for what it is but not my favorite style. Also, funny how old people think new music is always so sexualized, but every single song was about swingin' or makin' whoopie.

It was pretty good. Under My Skin and Make Me Feel So Young were my faves but it wasn't a wowwing album.

has the same problems and strengths as In the Wee Small Hours: gets a bit samey and is cheesy at times, but has an undeniable sense of mood, atmosphere, and effortless swagger. Frank Sinatra does sappy ballads well, shocker. deserves to be one of the 1001? i think it's a decent idea to add another Sinatra after In the Wee Small Hours, and it makes sense to have something fun to balance the moody album. yeah, i think this one earns its place!

Interessante ouvir um frank sinatra começando a entrar no seu prime

Why no dean or Sammy?

didnt listen to it fully, its not the kind of music i would play but its still good i think, its just not my thing so i really don’t know how to rate it

5/10. Un disco muy mid. No tiene hitazos, no tiene bangers, pero es por completo un disco de Sinatra, lo cual lo hace siempre muy bueno y apreciable. No destaca, es un disco lindo más.

Excellent. Franks subtle and always cool delivery to the fore, it demonstrates why he was so well regarded. The arrangements too are not mired by their density. There’s a. Lot going on but the songs still live.

These were all well performed songs. On some level I found it quite enjoyable. But there was nothing quite innovative here and my guy doesn’t even write his own music. Gonna give this a 4 because it’s Frankie Blue eyes but could be a 3.

whenever i hear this i feel like i got transformed into a boomer. but i dont wanna be a boomer, im a cynical and misanthropic gen z. im sorry. 3/5

It’s Sinatra! You probably already know how you feel about him. What do you need me for?

Im a sucker for Sinatra. Could listen to this all the time.

Bella voce, belle basi, molto monotono l'album

Nice smooth jazz.

This kind of big band music always makes me feel like I’ve been dropped into some old Hollywood movie, and honestly, that’s a pretty good feeling. Frank Sinatra sounds smooth and confident throughout, gliding over playful, adoring lyrics while the brassy band swings in behind him like it owns the room. That being said, the album doesn’t deviate much from that formula, so it can wear a little thin after a while. Variety isn’t exactly its strength, but as a snapshot of that classy sound of yesteryear, it still has a certain magic to it.

I listened to this album in the car and thought it was a very cohesive album. The songs all sound like they come from the same album which I like. Although not something I would usually listen to, I thought this was a pleasant listen. Kind of felt like I’d been transported back to the 50s. Lyrics are basic but sweet and romantic. Overall very interesting listen with some songs I already knew so was nice to listen to this album in full to see where they come from.

The Man himself. Ol’ Blue Eyes does his thing better than anyone. It’s just smooth as hell, every track at the same caliber. There is no way to play this and not swagger with cool.

The voice of a generation.

Like it 3/5

A lovely collection of songs

Not bad but if you’ve heard one Sinatra song, you’ve heard them all.

Yeah. Undeniably well arranged and well executed. Frank’s the smoothest, swingiest, safest blue eyed songster of them all. It makes me long for Louis and Ella. 3 Boolean: true

Still don't get Frank Sinatra. It's just so slow and lame, with zero spirit.

Yes, Imediately I feel like I am in one of those romcom musical films from the 1950/60s. The cover literally looks like it's from a film. The second song is kind of like christmas music but for spring- specifically the opening part. Although every song has it's own individual begining and end, this album feels constant. Narrative like. Like a big show with lots of kicking and moving scenes. I'm literally falling asleep (not because of album) but if Frank keeps singing any slower i'm not gonna be able to finish this album. Okay I liked a lot of the songs nearing the end. Dangerous to listen to when sleepy but that was quite nice to be honest. I did find some of this music to be performatively romantic though. Like I can picture the dramatic swooning from audience members.

FS comes in smooth and sweet. Classics from a time so different.

I always enjoy a little Sinatra. Good stuff. Felt like a swingin lover listening to this.

Lovely

Jesus H. Ok, I understand the cultural impact he had during this time, but this does not age well at all. It's so boring and monotonous and all sounds the same. It's no wonder music blew up in the 60s, people finally got a taste of uniqueness and some risk taking. Maybe I'm more of a Dean Martin fan. 2/5

Puur vakmanschap. Van de uitgebreide arrangementen over de manier waarop hij zijn liedjes vertelt in plaats van enkel zingt tot de bochten waarin de tekstschrijvers zich wringen om uiteindelijk toch elk nummer over de liefde te laten gaan. Daardoor blijft er weinig plek over voor emotie en dat mis ik toch.

If Michael Jackson had Quincy Jones, then Frank Sinatra had Nelson Riddle. His arrangements here are so rich and playful and surprising without ever taking away from the main event which is of course Sinatra’s voice. Together they make something that’s so masterful yet made to sound so so easy.

This is a top-tier album. While listening I felt pure warmth and joy — it’s just lovely from beginning to end. There’s not much more I need to say. Frank is at his absolute peak here: smooth, charming, confident, and full of emotion. The orchestra swings beautifully, the arrangements are perfect, and his voice sounds like velvet. It’s romantic, classy, playful, and sophisticated all at the same time. This is easily one of his best and most favourite records. Pure musical comfort. If you want to hear Sinatra at his swinging, heartfelt finest, this is the one.

First read music from another era.

Enjoyed more than I expected even if the album as a whole felt quite samey

There’s a reason Frank Sinatra is synonymous with lounge and swoon. He has a voice and a style that draws you in, he can pick up a song make this, then move on to the next. This is a great collection of songs that will tickle your ears, but as an album it’s nothing phenomenal. Chuck it on in the background, when you’re cooking, eating with friends or having a chill Sunday afternoon.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed listening. Top hits were it happened in Monterrey and our love is here to stay

It's hard to deny it's a well made album I just didn't feel strongly about it in either direction. My grandparents ate it up though.

I’m not necessarily a Sinatra fan, but I am absolutely a sucker for swing. Not every song on this album fits the category, he veers into straight ballads so loses a star for those.

It’s fine. He’s a great crooner.

It's not bad so I feel like I have to give it a 3. But not something I'll return to outside 1-2 songs.

soldier boy

Ой клас обожаю пісні про любов до жінок!!! Класний альбом дуже прям теплі вайби,наче дивлюся фільм 2000х років прям приємно. Хороший інструментал добренько

Favorite track(s): You Make Me Feel So Young, Old Devil Moon, I've Got You Under My Skin, Anything Goes

bueno. Bonita de soundtrack en películas y no fue horrible mientras trabajaba. Suena a propesridad

Really keen

Es un pesado el tipo. Todas son canciones de amor muy boludas. Pero su voz es hermosa y la banda es increíble.

Old age effortless romance. I don't understand the people saying all the songs sound the same. It's a genre album, they're gonna stick to a theme. Type of album I'd listen to while making a bombass lasagna

Maybe it’s just been around too much for too long but this was repetitive to the point of boredom.

Classic.

Listen, would I sit there and listen to this voluntarily? No. But can I in good conscience rate it anything lower than 3.5/4? Also no. This is the Ray Charles conundrum all over again and the reason this challenge currently thinks my favourite genre is 'soul'. I will say, Ray Charles had more variety on his albums to keep me interested all the way through. This album, by contrast, feels redundant. I don't know that I'll come away from this feeling like any of these songs have really stuck in my head. I also feel the need to knock half a star off for how much I hate 'Makin' Whoopee' so I guess this is getting a flat 3.

This one can be summed up two ways. Songs for Swingin' Lovers is obviously compiled with romance in mind. If you're looking for something a little slinky and a little spicy, Sinatra has your back. In that scenario I'd say you could add a full point to the score. For anyone else, there are better Frank Sinatra collections out there. All that said, I could listen to him sing from the dictionary and still enjoy it.

idk why this album art is so funny to me. its like he's the ghost of young love looking down on the happy couple. there's lots of songs to like in here but the whole album was too much frank for me. i like frank on kkjz on sundays broken up with stories and weird bsides. i liked frank when he came up in my grandpa's oldsmobile's radio. hut for me this is too much frank for one sitting. i also noticed that a lot of standards i like, pennies from heaven and how about you especially, i just really didnt go for this version. liked his anything goes tho. fave track old devil moon

Your grandparent's favorite singer. It's good, but a little one note. Remember, don't touch the hi-fi.

Это неплохо, поставлю 4, потому что я сегодня добрая

Хороший, приятный, но не идеал

Sinatra is nice. 3.5-ish for me.

An iconic voice and sound, not sure I could listen to it consistently

2.5/5

Frank Sinatra good

Meh con Meh. Volvemos a los hombres blancos. Would they be famous as in today? Every songs sound the same.

Sinatra has a ridiculous voice and when he hits he really hits, however his songs all sound the same and lack variety. So really you only need to listen to a couple of his big hits- and My Way isn't even on this album. All we get is Under My Skin and You make me feel so young. Oh and Anything Goes is here I guess. Mid.

Review: This is a good album from an amazing artist. The sound throughout the album was pretty similar but there were definitely some highs and lows. The best song for me was without a doubt I’ve got you under my skin. The instrument work on this song was amazing. The worst song was Makin Whoopee. That was straight up noise pollution. Overall this was a solid album.

2.4 2x it's actually decent just seems so old timey

Sinatra. No hay mucho más que agregar. Sinatra.

svingerite sving

Frank lad

Oh Frank! What a voice. The dude's pipes are made of velvet. This album is exactly what I imagine when I think of a Frank Sinatra record. Plenty of well-known songs, "You Make Me Feel So Young," "Anything Goes," "Pennies from Heaven," and some great deep cuts as well. The band is on point and is perfectly balanced to let Frank's voice shine through. Super pleasant, and fun, and upbeat. I'll have to hunt this one down in person now! FOUR STARS

Fab.Old blue eyes at his peak

Uplifting swing from Frankie and his big band. Great sound.
