"This CD-single came out in 1998 exactly one month after Frank Sinatra died. It features "It's For My Dad," a tribute song by his daughter Nancy and the two duets they recorded in the 1960s. The duet "Somethin' Stupid" was recorded by father and daughter in just two takes and hit #1 in 1967, appearing on his "Frank Sinatra and the World We Knew" album (the single only made its way onto her hit collections). "Feelin' Kinda Sunday," released the year before on her second album, "How Does That Grab You?", was never released as a single. Obviously the first track is the one that makes this worth having because any fan of either Sinatra is already going to have the hit "Somethin' Stupid." While Lisa Marie Presley did a mixed duet of "Don't Cry Daddy" to honor her father, similar to what Natalie Cole did with "Unforgettable," I appreciate that since Nancy had already hit the top of charts singer with her dad that she chose to honor him in this way. The simplest but also the most touching of the musical tributes paid to Ol' Blue Eyes."

A valentine

"Unlike the other reviewer, I appreciate this CD for what it is : a heartfelt valentine from Nancy to her late father, featuring their two 1967 duets and a middling but sweet song addressed to him. Nothing earth-shattering here, but a small, sentimental collectible for Sinatra (Frank and/or Nancy) fans."
