Music reviews of Songs for Swingin' Lovers!

Music Review: Sounds As Great Today At It Did Way Back When
Rating: 5 Stars

My father used to play this "album" a lot in our house when I was a kid growing up. Thus, the songs kind of grew on me. However, I never realized exactly how great they were until I bought this (for sentimental sake) and listened to it again at the age of 50-something.

The songs in here just never grow old and Sinatra's "takes" on them are as fresh-sounding now as they were made he recorded them.

What really shocked me was that every one of the songs on this CD are great! That's almost unheard-of, for any artist. There isn't a clunker in the bunch, so I can't cite some of them; they are all classics, thanks to Frank.

I'm not an expert on Sinatra, but I don't know how he could ever have sounded better than he sounds here. This has to be him in his prime - the best album he ever made, in my humble opinion.

Description of Songs for Swingin' Lovers!

Sinatra already had one youthful career behind him by the time he made Songs for Swingin' Lovers! His were no longer the lustrous pipes of the kid crooner from Hoboken--the voice that made bobbysoxers swoon--but from the first notes of the opening track ("You Make Me Feel So Young") he seems to have discovered a musical fountain of youth that fully justifies the exclamation point in the album title. There's a buoyant new spring in his step, accented by Nelson Riddle's lighter-than-air arrangements, that makes the Columbia records of Sinatra's younger days sound stiff and stodgy in comparison. Even chestnuts like "Old Devil Moon," "Pennies from Heaven," "Makin' Whoopee," and "Anything Goes" are rejuvenated by his vibrant touch. Put this alongside his previous Capitol album, In the Wee Small Hours, and you have the definitive statements by both sides of Sinatra's mature musical personality: the lonely "saloon singer" and the swaggering, sophisticated swinger. Sinatra's carefree confidence achieves its supreme expression in "I've Got You Under My Skin," a performance that builds steadily to an ecstatic climax. Cole Porter may have hated his lyrical embellishments, but by the time the singer jauntily breaks the "fourth wall" on "Anything Goes" ("...may I say before this records spins to a close..."), you can't deny he's taken the title to heart. --Jim Emerson
