This album — which was actually a re-editing (and something of a corruption) of his 78 r.p.m. album The Voice of Frank Sinatra — was a huge seller at the time of its release in 1955, and it's a sign of just how large it loomed in Columbia's history that it was was among the earliest releases selected for inclusion in Sony Music's audiophile-oriented Mastersound CD series of the early 1990's, deluxe packaging, gold CD and all.
Most of the Sinatra recordings
available during the 1950's consisted of
his contemporary work for Capitol
Records. But every so often his former
label, Columbia Records, would get
something together on LP from among his
forties and early 1950's sides.
The Voice was one of a handful
of 1950's long-players showcasing the
first phase of Sinatra's solo
career, and at the time it wowed
listeners — the focus is on the ballads,
and the dozen represented here
constitute a bumper-crop of classics,
all resplendant in the singer's richest,
most overpowering intonation and most
delicately nuanced work.
The sensibilities, from the lushly
seductive "Laura" to the gently
self-satisfied "(I Got A Woman Crazy For
Me) She's Funny That Way", show off a
huge emotional range, and the latter
song may be the highlight of the album,
displaying a soft yet smugly confident
brand of machismo, all of it drenched in
Axel Stordahl's overflowing string
arrangements, yet quietly bold in its
emotional content. It's that stretch of
subtexts that, coupled with the beauty
of Sinatra's instrument and
Stordahl's arrangements, make the
singer's Columbia material so striking
to hear — his subsequent work on Capitol
and Reprise would be defined differently,
and usually more directly, along with
the texture and range of his singing.
The Columbia material tended to get
neglected, both in the marketplace and
most listeners' minds, as his career
extended across the decades, but hearing
The Voice anew is a
reminder of just how overpowering
Sinatra's sound could be, even in
the early phase of his solo work.
