Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arranged by Nelson Riddle with conducting duties surprisingly handled by Frank Sinatra, this deeply romantic collection focuses entirely on tender ballads and torch songs. The singer's famously breathy, understated delivery perfectly suits the lush, sweeping orchestrations, resulting in one of her most cohesive and emotionally resonant projects. The impeccably paced album is widely celebrated as a quintessential peak of mid-century adult-contemporary pop.
