Sinatra question


I was listening to a Sinatra (very early years) special on the radio a few days ago, but couldn't listen to the whole show. His voice back in the 40s and as early as the late 30s with Harry James, was drop dead the best he ever sounded to me. I'm looking for recommendations on Sinatra pre 1950. thanks in advance. peace, warren :)

Sorry. can't help much with the early stuff but I'd be looking at stuff he did with Tommy and Jimmy and the Modernairs.
At 67, I was a Sinatra fan way back when. I loved all the phases he went thru.---However, my fav. is the "Sept. Of My Years". Gordon Jenkins was an arrangement master. Even the album Gordy did with Nat King Cole showcased Nat as good as he ever sounded. Even as a Sinatra fan I always had trouble telling him from Dick Haymes. Frances had such a great voice he sounded great no matter whether it was with Billy May, Count Basey, or Nelson Riddle; but Gordy brought out his best,to me.
I found his voice already over when he came out with Strangers in the Night. My Way, NY, NY, give me a break. Some things don't get better with age. Phasing, emotion sure. The voice? Not to these ears.
