Portrait of Sinatra: Columbia Classics
Editorial Reviews

A best-of pared down from so many other Columbia boxes and cardboard tombstones, this 36-track, double-disc collection showcases a boy whose voice and heart had yet to break, revealing the man within. Sinatra would re-record most of these tracks for Capitol and Reprise, and the later performances were at once weary and wise. here, Francis Albert is still copping Crosby moves and singing over the screaming teenaged girls, his voice as reed-thin as his body. The Columbia recordings--including "All or Nothing at All," "Night and Day," "Body and Soul," "Someone to Watch Over Me," and myriad other standards he'd make his own until his death--are cool, but not nearly as warm as his later records. Buy it to find out what he wasn't, then marvel at what he would become. --Robert Wilonsky --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
