Keely Sings Sinatra

CD (Item 559928) Concord, 1991 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
Keely Smith steps out at a more dynamic level than most of her solo recordings we remember from the old days – doing a pretty great job of here of paying tribute to Frank Sinatra during the height of his years at Capitol Records! The backings are lively and swinging – handled by the Frankie Capp Orchestra with a blend of strings and jazz that's right at home with the older Sinatra backings by Nelson Riddle or Billy May. But nicely, Keely doesn't just copy the modes of the old days – and instead, takes these tunes at her own level – swinging them a bit differently than Frank, but still with his classic sense of power and punch! The CD features a great introduction by Frank Sinatra Jr, and a whopping 20 titles in all – with tunes that include "Angel Eyes", "Come Rain Or Come Shine", "I've Got A Crush On You", "Night & Day", "South Of The Border", "Without A Song", "All The Way", and "I've Got You Under My Skin".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
