Frank Sinatra Sings the Select Cole Porter

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This is probably the best compilation of Sinatra songs available. Cole Porter's romantic wit, Nelson Riddle's sense of timing, and Sinatra's voice combined in these cuts in a way not bettered in the history of pop music. And because of the continuity of composer and arranger, there is a seamless flow to the collection. This CD contains the original 1953 version of "I've Got You under My Skin. That's the one that retains the intro with the incredible phrase "When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting that old ennui" and the reference to cocaine--both of which were axed in the 1962 Neal Hafti-arranged cut. Another reason to hear Frank sing Cole is that these songs were recorded between 1953 and 1960, when he experienced his greatest heartbreak (Ava), his biggest defeat (losing his voice), and his biggest triumph (receiving an Oscar). This is a wise singer singing wise songs. --Karen Croft --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

This is a compilation of Cole Porter songs performed by Frank Sinatra for Capitol Records. Frank Sinatra was the greatest singer of popular songs of the 20th Century. Cole Porter was the greatest composer of popular songs of the 20th Century. Two greats that go great together! This is a fantastic CD that any fan of pop standards should enjoy.

NO OTHER VOICE.......2007-01-24

SINATRA VOICE AT ITS BEST AND SINGING THE WONDERFUL SONGS OF THE MUSICALS.IT DOESNT HURT FOR HIM TO BE SINGING THE SONGS OF ONE OF THE GREAT SONGWRITERS. BUT NOBODY CAN SING ANYTHING EVER LIKE FRANK SINATRA. I LOVE THIS CD.

Frankly speaking, an excellent effort .......2006-08-08

If you have all of Frank Sinatra's classic Capitol albums (1953-1961)then you won't NEED this CD since all the tracks can be found on his studio albums and soundtrack albums of this period. On the other hand, you will WANT it for it sure is convenient to have all of these great Cole Porter songs on one CD.

I first purchased this on LP many years ago, one of the first Sinatra LPs I purchased, and dubbed it onto a reel-to-reel tape for frequent listening. At the time, I didn't realize that this was an anthology cobbled together by Capitol to have some new product to compete with the new Reprise recordings.

Cole Porter is my favorite pop standard composer (along with Johnny Mercer) and Sinatra sings Porter better than anyone, so I was glad to buy this album, whatever the motivation for putting it out. "Night And Day" is probably my favorite song on the CD but I love every song on it and so will you. The CD has some additional tracks not on the original LP release so even if your vinyl is in good shape (like mine), you'll probably buy this disc, if you can find it

Two Kings Together!.......2005-07-19

Cole Porter was one of the greatest songwriters of 20th century. Frank Sinatra was one of the greatest performers of 20th century. So, must I write more?
On this compilation you will find songs from Sinatra Sings For Swingin' Lovers (I've Got You Under My Skin, Anything Goes), High Society soundtrack (Mind If I Make Love To You, You're Sensational), A Swingin' Affair! (Night And Day, You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To, At Long Last Love, From This Moment On), Can-Can (I Love Paris, C'est Magnifique).
But even if you have all this albums, this one you should by too.

Frank, Cole, & Nelson! The Top!.......2004-08-04

With the current movie "Delovely" out, any serious Cole Porter fan must check out Old Blue Eyes Select Edition!. Everyone song here is top notch, but 6 are unsurpassed, without question the best versions ever done! They are (1) "I've Got You under My Skin" (usually ranking among the handful of top Frank songs), "What is this Thing Called Love", here done as a yearning ballad, (3) "Anything Goes", a real riot!,(4) "Just One Of Those Things", with one of the snappiest, trickiest arrangements ever! (5) a supercharged "Night and Day", and (6)"From this Moment On", perhaps a lesser known tune that completely blows away any other version I've heard! Top Frank and Nelson doing some of Mr. Porter's timeless best!
