Sinatra question

Sorry. can't help much with the early stuff but I'd be looking at stuff he did with Tommy and Jimmy and the Modernairs.
At 67, I was a Sinatra fan way back when. I loved all the phases he went thru.---However, my fav. is the "Sept. Of My Years". Gordon Jenkins was an arrangement master. Even the album Gordy did with Nat King Cole showcased Nat as good as he ever sounded. Even as a Sinatra fan I always had trouble telling him from Dick Haymes. Frances had such a great voice he sounded great no matter whether it was with Billy May, Count Basey, or Nelson Riddle; but Gordy brought out his best,to me.

I found his voice already over when he came out with Strangers in the Night. My Way, NY, NY, give me a break. Some things don't get better with age. Phasing, emotion sure. The voice? Not to these ears.

Warrenh, I have a Sinatra collection called "Frank Sinatra: The V-Discs" (Columbia/Legacy C2K 66135). All the recording are from 1943-1952. This may be along the lines of what you're looking for.

That be it, Grant. There's more before 1943, but this is a good start. thanks...
