Following his melancholy masterpiece In The Wee Small Hours, the legendary vocalist Frank Sinatra brightened the mood considerably with his exuberant album Songs For Swingin’ Lovers released on Capitol Records in 1956. Together, the two albums presented an enthralling duality with the brokenhearted lover of the former relishing the joys of newfound romance on the latter. Recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, the album was once again produced by Voyle Gilmore and presented delightful Nelson Riddle arrangements of Great American Songbook including “You Make Me Feel So Young,” “Too Marvelous For Words,” “Love Is Here To Stay,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” and more.
