FRANK SINATRA

Seduction: Sinatra Sings Of Love (Deluxe Edition)(2CD)

$24.98 CD

“Francis Albert Sinatra-unparalleled Seduction Artist, deity to all who aim to disarm...He was, of course, nothing less than the human embodiment of a curled beckoning finger that signaled only, inarguably: 'Come here, baby...'”
 - from liner notes by author Bill Zehme

 The Voice is unmistakable, and its powers of persuasion are unstoppable. A master at the art of seduction, Frank Sinatra was legendary for melting hearts en masse with his peerless turns of phrase and signature personal conviction behind every lyric. The 2-CD set SEDUCTION: SINATRA SINGS SONGS OF LOVE (DELUXE EDITION) celebrates the vocal magic that launched a million love affairs, collecting classic recordings presenting Sinatra at the peak of his “come hither” powers. Among its irresistible charms is a previously unreleased version of “My Funny Valentine.” 

 Disc One, comprising 22 tracks, opens with “Prisoner Of Love” and finishes with “That's All,” both from Sinatra & Strings, a 1962 album of romantic ballads featuring the arrangements of Don Costa. While these lush orchestrations bookend the disc, much of the set list spotlights Sinatra's beloved work with legendary arranger Nelson Riddle, including classics such as “I've Got You Under My Skin,” “Witchcraft” and “It Had To Be You.” Highlights also include Sinatra performing with Count Basie and His Orchestra on Quincy Jones' arrangement for “More” (the theme from Mondo Cane) and collaborations with Brazilian guitarist and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim on “I Concentrate On You” and “This Happy Madness (Estrada Branca).”  

 Disc Two features ten bonus tracks, including “The Look Of Love,” “Misty” and “For Once In My Life.” 

 The definitive Sinatra love songs compilation, SEDUCTION features new liner notes by Bill Zehme, author of the New York Times bestseller The Way You Wear Your Hat. A single disc Standard Edition (selection # 516960) is also available.
