My Way: the Best of Frank Sinatra collects 46 tracks culled from the estimable American singer's vast back-catalogue for a remarkable two-CD set. Sinatra was one of the greatest voices of his--or any--generation, and for the most part, these songs are some of Old Blue Eyes' finest works: among the best are "Come Fly with Me", "Lady Is a Tramp" and "I Get a Kick out of You". But with such an immense and classic back-catalogue of songs to choose from, it's a shame that the compilers felt it necessary to add so much cheese: "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and "Mrs Robinson", for example, don't do Sinatra, the songs, or the listener any justice. Still, that's why CD players have "skip" buttons. --Robert Burrow |

A review- My Way, The Greatest Hits Of Frank Sinatra (2002) |
Rating: 4.0 |
We've all seen them.
They're often the sign of their respective artists lack of ideas. The feared "greatest Hits." albums that clog the bargain Bins and 'reduced' shelfs of the superstores.but Not this album. Frank Sinatra, in his long musical career has had dozens of Greatest Hits albums, but "My Way- The Best Of Frank Sinatra." is simply a brilliant compilation. It features his most well known hits- Fly me to the moon, Something stupid. My Way, New york New York, That's Life, The list is endless. It is definitley a great buy for the occasional Frank Sinatra Listener, or as a CD for the open musical listener. It may disappoint for Seasoned Frank Sinatra collectors in that it omits some of the less "Glamarous" songs in favour of his hits, But as is its title, it is a greatest hits, If you do not own this, or perhaps are looking for a good compilation of swing/jazz music that almost everyone had heard the author of, then 'My Way- The Best Of Frank Sinatra' is a must buy. |

Definitive Frank Sinatra |
Rating: 5.0 |
This best of CD has done what most best of's don't. It has actually got the best songs of Frank Sinatra on it. Which ever aspect of Sinatra you like, early songs or late, these CD's have it. I haven't met a Sinatra fan who's got this CD and found it dissapointing.I recommend it for anyone, avid Sinatra fan or interested in finding out what all the fuss is about. |

I Love This Man!!!!! |
Rating: 5.0 |
I had never really listened to Sinatra before, save for the few that are on various ads etc. However, always looking to expand my music catalogue I picked this up 1 day from a supermarket and I've been in love with it ever since!He has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard, and almost every song on this album is a true work of genius - Definitely something to sing along to on your way down to the Jazz Hall on a Saturday night! Its an excellent collection starter or a stand alone compilation, buy it, buy it now!!! |

Packed with classics! |
Rating: 5.0 |
If, like me, you love the music of Sinatra, but don't know where to begin, then this is the CD for you. It is a compilation of some of the finest moments of his musical career. It's great to listen to when you have friends to visit or if you're holding a dinner party. There is a romanticism here, that recalls the heady post-war decades of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Frank's music is evocative of the era. Without doubt one of the greatest performers/artists of our time. If you only buy one Sinatra CD, make it this one. |

Strong compilation of Frank's sixties music |
Rating: 5.0 |
Frank's career began in a very different era, when swing bands were fashionable. He maintained this style long after it ceased to be fashionable, yet continued to sell records in huge quantities. Indeed, he recorded some of the best music of his career during the sixties and seventies.
My way actually began as a French song - it was titled Comme d'habitude and recorded by Claude Francois in 1967. Paul Anka later translated it into English and the rest is history.This collection contains many other Sinatra classics - New York New York, Strangers in the night, Somethin' stupid, Come fly with me and so much more. Most of his songs were culled from the Great American Songbook, but he showed that he could do contemporary songs well - among those to be found here are Mrs Robinson (Simon and Garfunkel), Yesterday, Something (both Beatles) and You are the sunshine of my life (Stevie Wonder). This set works well as an introduction to Frank's music, but for those who only want one collection, this is the best of many compilations available. A single-CD version is also available for those who want it - it has a different color cover and merely contains the first of the two CD's here - but you can't buy the second CD separately, |
