Frank's on his best behavior and in his finest voice in this 1957 set, a deliciously vintage--but remarkably kitsch-free--bunch of Christmas classics. His training on nightclub standards proves surprisingly helpful: the "favorite uncle" croon translates to a warming fireside manner.
Frank Sinatra tackles a dozen Christmas classics on this collection, with chorus and orchestra conducted by Gordon Jenkins. It was remastered and reissued in 2007, and includes a couple songs not on the original LP issue (but recorded at the same session) plus a vintage Christmas Seals public service announcement. This is the 50th anniversary of this classic album, which was originally issued by Capitol Records in 1957.
