During his first year with Columbia Records, Tony Bennett experienced little commercial success. And a parting of the ways looked likely until, at what was scheduled to be his final session for the label in 1951, he recorded Because Of You. This revival of a number from the decade-old film ‘I Was An American Spy’ resided in the charts for over 30 weeks and would reach the Number 1 spot. Later the same year this was then followed by the Hank Williams- penned Cold, Cold Heart. Which also topped the charts, and hewas suddenly hot property. With Bennett’s feel-good career flourishing until the mid-Sixties, the hits were coming at regular intervals with Rags To Riches and a Stranger In Paradise hitting it big in 1953. By 1957, he replaced his Musical Director Chuck Wayne with Pianist Ralph Sharon, creating a partnership that would last until 1965 (and be rekindled later). He encouraged Bennett to focus on his Jazzier side, and the result was The Beat of My Heart which featured the track Just One Of Those Things. With a stronger emphasis on Percussion from the likes of Art Blakey, Jo Jones, Latin star Candido and Chico Hamilton, plus well-known Jazz musicians such as Herbie Mann and Nat Adderley also lending their talents.

If Frank Sinatra made singing sound nice and easy, it was all part of a style honed by years of hard won experience and imbued with a self confidence made attractive by his underlying sensitivity. Few male artists could interpret lyrics with quite such eloquence and charm, while sustaining a cool, masculine demeanour. In March 1953 he adopted a new approach, singing in an infectious, swinging style accompanied by modern sounding orchestral arrangements provided by conductor Nelson Riddle. Their perfect partnership would continue over a period of nine years, during which Sinatra produced some of his finest work including his superb 1960 album Nice ’n’ Easy. Nearly all the songs are slow, romantic ballads, although the title track has a more upbeat delivery. A masterful performance, we can imagine Frank adorned in his stylish Fedora hat, jacket draped loosely over his shoulders, standing at the microphone in Capitol’s Hollywood based Studio A.

As America left the clouds of world war behind, no-one personified their hopes and dreams more than the beautiful, freckle-faced Doris Day. She was an Oscar-winning actress, yet she remained engagingly modest and unfailingly approachable. The Hollywood mood of the Fifties was light and upbeat, and Day was very much in tune with the times. Enjoy this superb LP with some of her best songs.
