COME DANCE WITH ME
By Mahnuel Muñoz
On December 9, 1958, the recording of the album “Come Dance With Me” began, one of the essential works to understand Frank Sinatra and the swing genre.
From its cover, a seductive Frank like never before invites us to enter a world of sizzling rhythms that seem maximized to counteract the strength of rock and roll. The music magazine Stereo Review noted: “Sinatra struts his way with effortless brio through an engaging collection of bouncy standards, aptly described in the liner notes as ‘dancing vocals.'”

The combination of Sinatra’s vigorous singing and the luminous orchestrations of Billy May and Heinie Beau make this album irresistible to dancers like you and lead pipes like me. Their repertoire will make your day: “Something’s Gotta Give“, “Dancing In The Dark“, “Saturday Night (Is The Loneliest Night Of The Week)”, “Cheek To Cheek“, ” The Song Is You“…And of course, the song that gives its name to the album.
The album won Grammys for album of the year, best vocal performance and best arrangements and became one of the most successful titles in his discography: Number 2 on the charts and stayed on Billboard for almost three years.
