Sinatra question

Some good Sinatra recordings from the early 50's to 1960 are found on a CD "Frank Sinatra sings the Select COle Porter"
My all time favorite is the first concept album ever done
"In the Wee Small Hours" recorded in 1955, great album
Also check out earlier his "Swing Easy" and "Songs for Young Lovers" both with Nelson Riddle, 1954 and 1953 respectively.
Finally his "Songs for Swingin Lovers" with 1955 with Nelson Riddle.
I agree that by about 1960 or so his voice went downhill and never recovered. Yet it has been said of him fairly that he could take any song and turn it into a three act play. In the fifties and before great voice

Well it's not pre-1950 and others will disagree but "In the Wee Small Hours" is as good as Sinatra gets for me.

I know the 50s stuff guys. Thanks, but I'm looking (as I said) pre `1950.

Try "Frank Sinatra The Best Of The Columbia Years 1943 - 1952". It's a four disc box set.
