Reviews Customer Reviews for Come Dance With Me      Four stars as a Sinatra release...five of them compared to anyone else...      Rating:      This is just a tiny degree below Frank's all-time best recordings, which, due to his lengthy career, is a fairly long-list anyway, perhaps topped by "Songs for Swingin' Lovers" and "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" representing the pinnacle of his uptempo and melancholy extremes. The duets with Keely Smith, added to the CD as a bonus, are not half-bad, but they do make this something a little different than a "normal" Sinatra "hat album." The hipsters used to say that if the LP cover had Frank in a hat, the songs were lively. Bare-headed, they were sad. That is not really accurate, since a couple of his broken-hearted releases showed him in a hat, and a couple of his swinging records featured him bare-headed. Anyway, it is all good here, and four-star Frankie is still miles ahead of most of the other male vocalists of his time. As with all well-regarded Sinatra records, the songs are chosen well, arranged beautifully, and the supporting instrumentalists are super. We will NEVER see a career such as his again, and while his personality apparently had many serious flaws, his performances set a standard no one else has ever approached. Perhaps Tony Bennett is a close second for longevity and quality and variety. Frank himself once called Tony "My favorite singer." However, for phrasing, timing, "acting out" the lyric without "over-acting" there is no one like Frank.     Customer Reviews for Come Dance With Me Cd      GARBAGE      Rating:       If I owned this album, I'd turn it upside down and use it as a coaster or ashtray. Editorial Reviews for Come Dance With Me Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Released in 1959, this was one of Sinatra's most commercially successful albums, remaining on the charts well into 1961. The reason for its popularity is apparent upon first spin: track for track, this is probably the enjoyably upbeat album Sinatra ever recorded. Billy May's arrangements swing unbelievably hard (the horn section positively leaps out from the speakers), and the Chairman himself is at the top of his vocal form on "Something's Gotta Give," "Cheek to Cheek," "Dancing in the Dark," and nine others. This is Sinatra at the very height of his artistic peak. The CD throws in four extra tracks of almost equal stature to the standing selections. --Dan Epstein
