Amazon.com: This is probably the best compilation of Sinatra songs available. Cole Porter's romantic wit, Nelson Riddle's sense of timing, and Sinatra's voice combined in these cuts in a way not bettered in the history of pop music. And because of the continuity of composer and arranger, there is a seamless flow to the collection. This CD contains the original 1953 version of "I've Got You under My Skin. That's the one that retains the intro with the incredible phrase "When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting that old ennui" and the reference to cocaine--both of which were axed in the 1962 Neal Hafti-arranged cut. Another reason to hear Frank sing Cole is that these songs were recorded between 1953 and 1960, when he experienced his greatest heartbreak (Ava), his biggest defeat (losing his voice), and his biggest triumph (receiving an Oscar). This is a wise singer singing wise songs. --Karen Croft
