Synopsis

Amazon.com

This 1961 record, one of Sinatra's last for Capitol, continues in the swingin' vein of Come Fly With Me, Come Dance With Me, and Sinatra's Swingin' Session. Though not one of Sinatra's best Capitol-era efforts, it's still pretty good. Fine versions of "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Don't Take Your Love From Me" and "That Old Black Magic" make it well worth your hard-earned cash. Most interesting, however, are Billy May's dynamic arrangements, which take maximum advantage of the stereo spectrum. While some listeners may find the relentless ping-ponging a distraction, fans of "space-age bachelor pad" artists such as Esquivel and Henri Rene will find much to enjoy herein. --Dan Epstein

CD Reviews

One of Frank's Best Albums with Billy May

franksoprano | 09/18/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"You could always tell Frank had a great time doing a recording session with Billy May. It especially shows in this album on tunes like "That Old Black Magic", "The Sunny Side Of The Street", "I've Heard That Song Before" and all the rest. It's even fun to put on & sing along with while cleaning house! Highly recommended."

"In order to get his own record company (Reprise) started in 1961,
Sinatra had to free himself from his contract with Capitol records, for whom he had recorded for 8 years and for whom he made some of the best albums of all time.Sinatra agreed to cut four final albums for Capitol as part of the deal...."Come Swing With Me," with arrangements by Billy May, was one of the last; recorded in March of 1961 and released during the summer.All four of these last recordings for Capitol have one thing in common: a disinterested Sinatra.Eager to get his own company going, Sinatra tossed off his last performances for Capitol with all the verve of a guy reading a grocery list.Don't get me wrong! Even a lacklustre Sinatra is better than most pop singers at their best and "Come Swing With Me" is living proof...Sinatra did no more than one or two takes on each song, but the Billy May charts (the band split right down the middle for the stereo mix) are sensational with "Day By Day" "Ol Black Magic" and "I've Heard That Song Before" as standouts."Come Swing With Me" showcases the century's finest male vocalist simply tossing if off..For a true comparason..listen to Sinatra's Reprise LP "Sinatra Swings" (also with Billy May and recorded within months of "Come Swing With Me") and you'll note the more than subtle difference in approach...."
