Are you planning to cover some Frank Sinatra in this series too? That would be amazingly interesting to read (though some of his greatest output is from mid-50’s and later, for sure). I hope that among all good ol’ crooners at least Frank & Tony will receive some reviews.
Not right away, but possibly in the future. Since crooners are not exactly my favorite cup of tea, it's going to take some time to select which of Frank's songs I'd be more willing to concentrate on.
“I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, though recorded in 1956 seems to be quite an obvious candidate. A recording that seems to be immaculately ideal with genius arrangement and one of Frankie’s visit cards. Another good proposal is “One For My Baby (and one for the Road)” — no matter how good Frank was in swinging, his forte was always something noir, dark and mystical.
(And, btw, if you’ll happen to write about “Stormy Weather”, you can also look for Frank’s version — probably not the best one, but pretty much standing out (that arrangement, oh!)
