Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
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

What can anyone possibly add to the Sinatra conversation? For most men, living one of his lives would have been sufficient. But for "The Chairman," the Greatest Entertainer of the 20th Century, reality and myth have fused to forge a reputation that long ago escaped the gravitational pull of mere mortality.
The "facts" alone are as daunting as they are unassailable - more Billboard placements than Elvis, The Beatles and Michael Jackson combined - the highest grossing entertainer of all ... Read More

When I was a young teenager with an RCA 45 record player, I fell in love with this album and played it over and over again - the orchestration is superb and Mr. Sinatra is at his finest. I recommend this CD to all Sinatra fans - it gives me as much pleasure as it did when it was first released

I really love this CD. I'm sure there are those you who don't consider this particular compilation as one of Frank's best, but I just think this is such a fun CD. While your typical love songs are generally a slow melody, I tend to prefer songs like the ones here, that are a little more upbeat. They are romantic in their own way. I like to put this on when the hubby and I are just sitting around the house relaxing, or cooking, and even when we're driving. It's got a good combination of slow dance and ... Read More

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 ... Read More

What else is there to say? Sinatra was never in better voice. Song selection superb. Accompaniment perfect. One of the finest LP's ever made, and just as good on compact disc, if not better.
