Frank Sinatra -Young Blue Eyes: Birth of a Crooner

Before the classic Capitol albums, before the Rat Pack, even before the seminal Columbia recordings, Frank Sinatra honed his craft in swing-era big bands. His most famous association was with trombonist Tommy Dorsey’s orchestra during the early 1940s. Although the bulk of the Dorsey-Sinatra studio recordings have been gathered on The Song Is You, a healthy portion of previously unreleased live material has now been made available on the revelatory Young Blue Eyes. Gathered from radio broadcasts, the 20 selections find Sinatra coming into his own as America’s classic pop singer. Highlights include covers of tunes that Sinatra never officially recorded
