I grew up listening to Frankie.....and my mom must have played this album 3 million times.....But for me this was the defining example of crooning and everything else seemed to pale in contrast to this album. Sinatra was THE Crooner......and 1959's "Come Dance With Me" represents the genius of Sinatra with that of Billy May. Take Schwartz and Dietz's "Dancing In The Dark" or Irving Berlin's "Cheek To Cheek" or maybe Johnny Mercer's "Day In Day Out" add the dynamic orchestra of May and the genius of Sinatra and you have something very extra special.
