Young Blue Eyes: birth Of A Crooner Full Description

In the '60s, the music world was rocked by the Beatles, while a decade earlier, Elvis Presley burst onto the scene and reigned supreme. Likewise the '40s were dominated by a trail-blazing performer who proved to be a classic. The young star who thoroughly captivated audiences was Frank Sinatra. The cool, blue-eyed crooner was not only a heartthrob but also a singing talent destined to be an icon of popular music. Today Sinatra is still very much in vogue as an influential vocalist renowned for his distinctive approach to phrasing as well as for his role with big band leader/trombonist Tommy Dorsey in redefining the notion of the modern pop singer.This 20-song collection of the Dorsey-Sinatra collaboration eminates from their legendary NBC radio broadcasts in the early '40s. Young Blue Eyes-The Birth of a Crooner features unique interpretations of Sinatra classics as well as rare covers that have previously been unreleased commercially. The live recordings have been exceptionally remastered by engineer Doug Pomeroy to ensure high sonic quality.Sinatra launched his career with the Dorsey Orchestra, and together they held sway over the popular music scene from 1940 to 1942. During that time they recorded 90 songs for RCA Victor. These studio dates have been documented on the Bluebird box set The Song Is You. However, the three-year Dorsey-Sinatra working relationship was more expansive than the studio setting. Young Blue Eyes-The Birth of a Crooner opens a window on seminal live performances of ballads and romance tunes when Sinatra was cutting his teeth in the music world with one of the premiere big bands. As Young Blue Eyes-The Birth of a Crooner liner note author Will Friedwald writes, Listening to Frank Sinatra perform with Tommy Dorsey is like hearing a path to the future a stairway to the stars. Although Sinatra was only in his early to mid-twenties during this period, here we have a fully formed statement from the man who taught the world how to sing a love song--as well as from the man who taught him. Tommy's popularity was well established in the '30s when he co-led the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra with his brother Jimmy. But it quickly became apparent in 1940 when Tommy hired Frank to be his male vocalist that the veteran could very well be eclipsed in popularity by his young apprentice. Case in point: on Young Blue Eyes-The Birth of a Crooner Sinatra sings into the heart of The World Is in My Arms, at the time a new tune being performed for the first time on the air. After the applause, the MC introduces the band as Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra. Dorsey jokingly responds, You sure you don't mean Frank Sinatra and His Orchestra? Young Blue Eyes-The Birth of a Crooner captures the nascent period of Sinatra's career. It features him singing variations of classic Sinatra tunes - This Love of Mine, East of the Sun (And West of the Moon), The One I Love, Just As Though
