It's not hard to collect a variety of superbly sung and orchestrated ballads by arguably the 20th century's most popular and accomplished singer, as this collection of Frank Sinatra classics amply illustrates. Sinatra's early recordings of Swing Era standards such as Rodgers & Hart's "Blue Skies" and Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" are included alongside such classics as the world-weary, irresistible "Night and Day," the haunting, regretful "September Song," and his inimitable performance of "Hello Young Lovers."
