Frank Sinatra had an unfailing instinct for great material. This tribute album, from Philadelphia's Frank Lafaro and his Fashions, contains signature songs such as 'Strangers In The Night,' 'It Was A Very Good Year,' 'Night and Day,' 'Something Stupid,' 'My Way,' 'New York, New York' and thirteen more. The melody lines are more-or-less true to the original versions, but most of the arrangements are revised in the doo-wop style, such as 'All The Way' and 'Summer Wind,' where nonsense syllables are the accompaniment and falsetto embellishes the intro and outro. Frank Lafaro does a pretty credible Sinatra and obviously relishes the opportunity to stand in for 'Ol' Blue Eyes.' |
