Frank Sinatra - My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra Album Review

Review of the 2002 compilation 'My Way' The Best Of Frank Sinatra

It's Christmas time, and as well as the goose getting fatter, all the major record labels are releasing their usual montage of festive-feel compilation albums - ensuring the shoppers them on their shopping lists.
Not another Frank Sinatra compilation you may say. After all, isn't every single record shop in the country already oversubscribed with a rambling selection of Frank memorabilia?
The answer is most definitely yes. But in a year when ex-Take That boy band member Robbie Williams hits the number one spot with a collection of songs sung by the late great Brat Pack, it seems a fitting tribute to remember the one who started it all.

Ok, we've got to admire Mr Williams spirit. He is probably the greatest showman of his time. But dressing like a fifties throw back and changing his pop scream to a croon doesn't even get him within spitting distance of one of the greatest voices this world has ever seen.

If you have, during your lifespan, miraculously managed to miss Frank Sinatra, the forty six tracks featured on this compilation should give you a detailed enough account of his musical milestones.
Kicking off with the momentous My Way, and continuing with belters such, Come Fly With Me, Mack The Knife, Pennies From Heaven and Three Coins In The fountain the comparisons are simple.
Appreciate Robbie? Then you can't fail to worship Frank.
