Yes, indeed. I owned it when it came out in the '90s; heaven knows where it is. Very rewarding for both Motown fans and fans of the Great American Songbook.

There was a television special on last night with many current artists [[John Legend, etc }) paying tribute to Sinatra. Could you imagine if all of the above artists could have done the same?? Whew......!

We can dream, can't we? Did you get to see the special? If so, how was it?

I didn't really watch it although it was on a tv in the house.

This is a superb album. I still have it and play it and maybe I`ll play it tomorrow - drop the streaming Sirius and stick in a physical CD.

Cuts 2 to 11 are awesome.

Sounds good. For UK viewers this concert is due to be broadcast over here shortly. I look forward to it, but as Marv says I would prefer to watch a concert with the Motown line up!!

Here's Miss B at a Sinatra Tribute a couple of years ago with the John Pizzarelli Band.

Thank you Kev. She does a great job as usual.

UK viewers can see the Sinatra tribute at 23.05 Christmas Day on C5.

I very much enjoy the Motown Sings Sinatra cd. there are some great versions of Ol' Blue Eyes' songs. The Burt Bacharach tribute cd is not as successful to me.
