Oh, yeah.... "The Concert Sinatra" is one of my favorite albums. His breath control is stunning. (My favorite, though, is one I think is overlooked in favor of "Wee Small Hours" and "September of My Years"...I play "Nice & Easy" over and over. Sinatra's voice was at its peak. Could listen to him sing "How Deep is the Ocean?" and "Fools Rush In" forever.)

Steyn's description of "Come Fly With Me" is perfect.

Sorry to read elsewhere on FR he may have been fired by the NATIONAL POST...didn't David Frum resign from the POST recently? Thanks for posting this great piece. For those of you unaware, Steyn has started doing a weekly appearance on Hugh Hewitt's radio show...not sure what day.

Another thing about Frank was his rythms -- there was nothing at all straightforward about it. I once read a column by a guy who was talking about it -- just try to sing along with him, and stay with him. "I've Got You Under My Skin" is a prime example -- he stretches some notes, compresses others, and gives the song a bounce that mere mortals can't match.

Peter Sinatra, who toward the end led Frank's orchestra, talked about this: it was always a challenge to match up the orchestra with what Frank was doing.

And finally, those horn sections ....

Is there a good "Greatest Hits" album I could purchase? What should I look for?

My all-time favorite song is the first cut---"I Have Dreamed". Great article.
