We recently were given 3 Sinatra albums to sell on eBay. They are Softly as I leave you, Strangers in the night and My kind of Broadway. All three are vintage 1964-66 and in great condition.
The one that caught my eye the most was the one with the same title as this post. Turns out that back in 1964 Frank Sinatra released this album as his first attempt to come to terms with Rock & Roll.
At the time he was producing middle-of-the-road pop, featuring drum kits, backing vocals, and keyboards and this one song was intended to incorporate Rock and Roll into an album that was otherwise pieced together with leftovers from various early 1960s sessions.
The title track was the first of at least four attempts to mimic the chart success of Dean Martin’s #1 hit “Everybody Loves Somebody”, using a driving beat, heavy strings and choral tracks.
The tracks on this album were:
- Emily
- Here’s to the Losers
- Dear Heart
- Come Blow Your Horn
- Love Isn’t Just for the Young
- I Can’t Believe I’m Losing You
- Pass Me By
- Softly, As I Leave You
- Then Suddenly Love
- Available
- Talk to Me Baby
- The Look of Love
If you are a Sinatra lover you may want to take a look at this eBay offering.. or
the other 2 and one Dean Martin one that I have featured. They are definitely priced right!
