All the Best

All the Best Review



All the Best Feature

  • All the Best
Frank Sinatra turned 80 in 1995, and Capitol released this two-disc "best of" in celebration. Sinatra's initial tenure at Capitol, which lasted from 1953 to 1962, is generally considered to be his artistic watermark. His voice and technique had improved considerably since his initial peak of popularity in the mid-'40s (the "swinging" phrasing most commonly associated with Sinatra's style really came to the fore during the Capitol years); he also had the good fortune to work with Nelson Riddle and Billy May, whose inventive arrangements certainly brought out the best in Sinatra's singing. This set's song selection is tough to argue with, but you'll really need to get all of Sinatra's Capitol albums to gauge the true measure of the man's artistry. --Dan Epstein

Cycles

Cycles Review



Out of print in the U.S.! This 1968 album saw Sinatra stepping outside his comfort zone, embracing the Pop/Rock and Folk/Rock sound of the late '60s and creating an album that was most certainly created for Sinatra fans but also for a new generation of listeners that came of age during the '60s. On Cycles, Sinatra tackles Glen Campbell's 'Gentle On My Mind' and 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix', Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now' and other hits of the era (including 'Little Green Apples'). A different and brave step for Sinatra and a treat for the listener. Universal. 2010.
