About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

As a marketing concept, Frank Sinatra's comeback album Duets was a complete success. A collection of Sinatra standards produced by Phil Ramone, the record wasn't a duets album in the conventional sense -- Sinatra never recorded in the studio with his partners. Instead, the other singers recorded their tracks separately, sometimes in different studios, and the two tracks were pasted together. In the case of several duet partners, including Bono and Barbara Streisand, this means they rely on camp as a way of making their performances interesting. Duets was a gigantic hit, rising to number two on the pop charts and selling over two million copies, becoming Sinatra's single most commercially successful record. The album was promoted as a piece of nostalgia, primarily to baby boomers but also to Generation X as a piece of kitsch. "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)," essentially a solo performance introduced by an instrumental from saxophonist Kenny G, is a track in which the real emotional core of Sinatra's music is on display.

October 31, 2007: Sinatra was seventy-eight years old when he recorded this. He was already starting to lose that beautiful voice of his when he was in his late fifties, as most singers do. Everyone made a big deal out of this CD when it came out because Bono sang with Sinatra. They said that's how cool Sinatra is, because Bono sang with him. Well, Sinatra was cool before Bono was even born. The shame here is that Bono was a better singer than Sinatra when this CD was recorded. That should have told Sinatra he shouldn't have recorded this CD. Sinatra's voice was now deeper, and he couldn't hold notes like he did in the past. The best I've ever heard his voice is when he sang "Where or When" on the CD "Songs for Only the Lonely." His voice was great on that CD, not this one.

January 01, 2003: Frank is at his best when performing with others such as Dean and Sammy. This album is recorded in his twilight years where he is paired with some of the best vocal talents of the time. Summer Wind, with Julio Iglesia is among my favorites but the best cut on the album is a duet with Luther Vandross of The Lady is a Tramp. Stellar performances with an excellent band!
