As of this writing, the latest addition to the lofty stack of
books on Francis Albert Sinatra is Sinatra: The Life by
Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan. Unfortunately, much like its
predecessors, Summers and Swan's tome is disappointing. The
reason is that they spend too much time on peripheral matters.
The one aspect that made everyone care in the first place - the
music - gets forgotten. Which is why, in the end, it's
preferable to just listen to the guy sing. What you'll hear
when you put on this particular disc is early Frank. Every
track here, save for one, was recorded between January 1940
and September 1942. During that time, the kid from Hoboken was
singing for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and cultivating the air
of the sensitive, romantic crooner. With Dorsey, he scored his
first number-one hit, 1940's "I'll Never Smile Again," which
makes a fine introduction to the young Sinatra's tender vocal
style.
