Frank Sinatra - Songs for Swingin' Lovers (1956)























"Here is an album that means to deny the rock & roll that was then changing America and succeeds. The songs were standards, most ten or twenty years old, and Sinatra and arranger Nelson Riddle were bent on jazzy, hip sophistication. 'I've Got You Under My Skin' still stands as a Sinatra high point." Rolling Stone

"You could forget that the guy ever had a good day. After Billie Holiday, nobody in American music has ever done more to slake our taste for romantic masochism than Frank Sinatra.
[F]or me, the album's masterpiece is 'I Thought About You.' A little-known song by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Mercer, it's the sort of standard you might expect from Edward Hopper had he been a songwriter instead of a painter. The singer, separated from the woman he loves, is on a night train, peeking out the shade at the moonlit little towns that slide by his window. Each sight, recounted in language as spare as a line drawing, nonetheless takes on the richness of a painted canvas. It's the ordinary transformed into a nighttime dreamscape, lighting a low steady flame in the singer who longs to belong somewhere -- in the arms of the woman he is leaving behind, or in one of the houses whose lit windows he can see from the train." Charles Taylor, Salon.com

Great to see a recording by Frankie in the context of your other posts. Amazing border-crossing - thx a lot!

coming for someone who once had a blog called "border music" (correct me if I'm wrong), that's a great compliment. you've been crossing a lot of cut-out borders yourself.

haha, i didn't want to speak about myself - i meant you!

i could do border music only because i learned from others who crossed genres - and it was very helpful for my musical education.

My friend and I were recently discussing about the prevalence of technology in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.

I leave a comment each time I especially enjoy a article on a site
or if I have something to contribute to the conversation.
Usually it is caused by the passion displayed in the article I read.
And after this post "Frank Sinatra - Songs for Swingin' Lovers (1956)".
I was moved enough to drop a thought ;-) I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it seem like some of the comments come across like they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on additional sites, I would like to keep up with you. Could you make a list every one of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
