When Frank Sinatra signed with Capitol Records in 1953, he was emerging from a career slump but armed with a newfound sense of confidence and artistic direction. The dude was seasoned by countless nights on the stages of Las Vegas and refined a more intimate yet sophisticated lounge jazz style. Songs for Young Lovers has sleek, small-ensemble arrangements that signaled his evolution from the big-band crooner of the ’40s into the smooth and intimate that he would eventually be known for up until this day. The rest was history.
Standout Songs: “I Get A Kick Out Of You”, “My Funny Valentine”, “They Can’t Take That Away from Me”
